Finished securing the front batteries yesterday. Also started on the rear rack.

Ivan's basically out of the picture for helping on the project for the foreseeable future: baby due any day, and he started a new job with a 200 km daily commute (nutbar!) rather than the 8 km r.t. commute for which the ForkenSwift's minimum range requirement was originally made.
