I'd like to know some more details on the mods that were done to this vehicle and how they were accomplished for the stated amount. I might not want to go quite as extreme as this, but I'd certainly like to employ some of the methods here.
The batteries were used, even salvaged, and no carbon fibers were harmed in the making of this vehicle. Dave Cloud is a wizard in the workshop, but I don't think he counts shop rent or his own food as expenses.
