Time to get this project rolling.

First thing to do is figure out the legality of converting a car in Georgia to all-electric and how to register the car. In my county I have to have emissions tested every year. If I replace the ECM and everything else because I'm going all-electric then there's no way for them to do an emissions test.

I'll be giving a call to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division tomorrow 404-363-7000 to figure out what they'll want from me once the conversion is complete so that I can get the car registered properly.

Side-Note: Car will need to be able to go 55 MPH to be certified. I'm not sure what the other requirements are.

Once I get those requirements figured out then I need to source the donor car. I've already found two candidates nearby and talked to one of the owners.
