The Old & The New

After a 9 week wait, my electric motor finally arrived yesterday. Today I took a big step and removed the internal combustion engine. I took lots of time to bag and tag all of the parts that will go with the engine to another project. I also weighed everything that will not go back on the Duster so I can keep track of the total weight of the car.

Next, I have to spend some time prepping the engine bay. As with the trunk, I need to complete my paint job. I'll also be building racks to hold the other 14 traction batteries and the motor control equipment. I also need to fabricate mounts for the electric motor.
