- building their own lithium batteries (I'm finishing up #6 now)
- motor and controller swaps
- custom body modifications
- custom painting
- custom suspension upgrades
- performance upgrades
- stereo / speakers
- anything else cool

My current and biggest project to date is a CC DS, with a 57 T-Bird body, hand-built 202ah 86v Lifep04 battery, 600A Navitas AC motor/controller conversion, Disc brakes, wheelie bars, lots of custom metal work, etc.

I know other guys like me are out there and I thought it could be fun to meet, possibly share ideas and collaborate on projects and maybe even line up side by side for a 100 yds somewhere safe. 🤔 😎😁

I haven't seen an organized Villages club for this stuff yet...

Thanks, hope to meet ya and keep the dirty side down!
VERY impressive! As an old gearhead myself, who has pretty much retired from tinkering, I really appreciate your embracing EV's - instead of denigrating anything that's not an ICE.

While I will always love "suck/squeeze/bang/blow," you are an inspiration - for where the future is headed. Great work!
