Hey all

New member after a week finally got here after reading all/heaps of post's.

This forum is cool.

I used to think going fast 1/4 mile the fastest was the best thing in the world.

How about going the fastest 1/4 mile using the least fuel. Or no fuel like Electric Zombie.

Hope to own a EV one day. Hope not to have to build it myself. Love pulling thing apart they just dont allways seem to get put back together as the oringinal engineer thought.

Dean

Welcome to the site Dean.

You know, if you do a conversion, you are the engineer. So, whatever way you put it back together is the way you intended it.

What vehicles do you currently have in the garage?

You might consider a midsize car and get yourself a trailer for it. Much better mileage, and you can still haul 4x8 sheets of whatever you need.
