You are correct, I have been working on getting the truck restored first and am now working on the cab. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. Welding is my latest challenge and I expect to be done this summer.
Regarding the electric motor, I am going to the EVCCON 2012 in September to get educated on the EV part of the projetct.
Right now I am at a conference with my daughter in Pittsburgh and my job still gets in the way.
More to come.
