Just a quick update on this:
I still plan to get most of the parts connected to the car within a week. It's just a matter of finding the time. I worked on the pulley some more today, drilled a whole and need to tape a shaft so that I can put a bolt on it and lock the pulley in place. It slightly rattles currently and that's not acceptable to me.
But I've decided to put the controller inside the car, underneath the driver seat for the time being. I'm hoping there it can get enough air but still be protected from the sun and foot traffic. Once that's in, I can measure the amount of wire I need and hook everything up.
Hopefully that and some batteries and I'll be in the proof of concept stage.
