Mannyman Goes Electric

Mission for 2007 Accomplished: Convert an ICE to an EV.

Hi my name is Manny. In March 2007 I picked up a nice '69 VW pan with upgraded disc brakes,shocks and an electric motor already mated to the tranny. I also acquired a '71 pan/'74 SuperBettle ICE based/'79-'80 styled Bradley GT2 (non-electric version with an '88 title.) from eBay. Took pretty much the whole month to get legal (not me, I was born here) with the DMV and CHP. Now the fun begins. Update: EV completed in December 2007

EV ( Electric Vehicle ) Conversion 7-21-2007

Still working on the 12V wiring.
Between runs for relays and wire spools I've started arranging the Belktronix controller, pack charger+dc/dc doodad, and vehicle integrator. Gotta love bungee cords.

Plus I check to see how the rear will look after I replace the school bus tail lights with the late model Mustang tailights (phase3).

Finally I check how the touchscreen will fit in the dash...
