The list of “stuff to do” before I put the body on is growing short.  Here’s what I got done this week:

I built some new brackets for the headlights. It’s now easy to adjust the position and angle of the lights.:

I installed the battery hold-downs.

I applied some bright orange tape to the high voltage lines.

I used some fairing compound on the area where the headliner will eventually go.  I want this to be nice and smooth.

I built some brackets for the AC condenser.

Stuff left to do before the body goes on permanently:

  • Weld up some body mount brackets to support things like the rear quarter panels and other pieces of fiberglass not in direct contact with the chassis.
  • Add some steel around each of the door/trunk latches.
  • Add a support for the rear hood.
  • Mount the motor controller radiator.
  • Add some steel around each of the hinge locations for the trunk lids.
