I originally wanted to keep the back seat, so that the whole thing would be stock and comfy and usable, but it is surprising how low and curvy car back seats actually are!

The battery box came up a little too high to make the original seat still work. Finishing it off with a piece of 3/4th" plywood was real easy, and looks pretty good with the grey recycled carpet on there.

So, wait, are mothers going to race each other, or the babies? I would love to see babies race electric cars.
