I am still interested in the project.

I have been busy with other things as well.

So far this spring, I have been working on a greywater toilet system for my house. (Now saving me about $270 a year!)

I have also been trying to get my Electro-Metro to the point that I can use it as a little longer range transportation. I have had some problems with my used batteries and charger. I need to have something else to get around in before I make my truck un-drivable for an unknown amount of time!

The Mercedes hub caps are the wrong size for the truck, although just playing around with that did lead me to create some flat aluminum covers for it.

I also need to rebuild my garage this summer, SO, it's going to be a busy one!
