Hi friends! I am back on the Electric Vehicle project in a big way. I decided to start a fresh blog to accompany my fresh start. I will not go into a detailled history of this project, but I will revisit the past as required to explain the present. I have found that I cannot suppress my passion for building an EV. I still don't really have the funding I need, but I have decided that I do not want to let that keep me from doing something, anything, to move forward. I have decided to make some major concessions from my original, elaborate, show-stopping, way-cool EV plan. The EV will hopefully still be pretty cool, though.
People have kindly told me in the past that they enjoyed my previous blog, and I know how much I enjoy reading something interesting and well-written, so I'm happy to do this again. I have promised myself to do at least one blog post per week, so this will be motivation to accomplish something on this project each week to then blog about.
The big news, and a major step forward, is the acquisition of a used EV! I made a down payment to EV-Steve for his 1985 Chevy S10, and he let me pick it up. I have known EV-Steve for a long time now. He is the only one I know that owned an EV, and I have done some mechanical repairs on it in the past. This is an actual battery and electric motor powered truck. It comes with all the major parts I will need.
I don't want to use up all my good info on the first post, so I'll let some photos do the talking.
It don't look so special, just an ol' S10, right? Bye for now, JK
Oh I'm thrilled you're blogging again - I don't know much about cars but you make it all interesting AND hilarious! I'm a bit curious about the "bonus material" you got in the passenger area there... Anything in the coffee cans? And is that a pink "woobie" on the seat or what?? :-)
