Schultz - that sounds like an ideal arrangement. The guy I know who did the machining for the ForkenSwift has a big door on his shop - which he doesn't use on weekends... I've been toying with the idea of talking to him about it.

Sounds like the same thing that Jerry did at EV Convert. With a new baby on the way in the spring of '07, the electric Ford Probe project got evicted from the garage, and some new living space took shape in its place.

Note the Prius outside just past the halfway point - "work vehicle of choice for subcontractors everywhere!" (Actually that's Jerry's car - and him doing the work.)
