The last step in my EV conversion process is to build the battery pack. Let's do this!

UPDATE: SOLD. After 5 years of ownership, I'm selling my 1966 Ford F100. The FE 390 v8 is very strong and runs great. The "four on the floor" gearbox is easy to shift and downshift and the clutch feels good. This truck has been supper reliable! I've put over 2,000 miles on it in 5 years. I verified that it's a 390ci and not a 360ci by measuring the piston stroke, and I can provide a video proving that.

This was a really easy DIY project and it turned out great! It would have been impossible to find a table like this for sale, so DIY it was. We needed a triangular-shaped dining table for our mid-century kitchen remodel. We bought a set of banquet style benches, but our rectangular dining table's legs made it hard to get in and out of the banquet benches.

Everything needed to get the wheels spinning!

This is how I shortened my CV shafts, cutting out a section from the middle of the axle shaft and then splicing them back together. I used a lap joint, with rounded inside corners, I think this is the perfect way to to do this job and they will never break apart.

High-voltage wiring for my EV conversion project using a 1962 Mercury Comet and a 2014 Nissan Leaf.

What sets the build apart from 99% of other EV conversions is that I'm using a De Dion design for the rear axle. Here's what it is and how I made it.

I began my EV conversion project by fabricating the mounting structures that would hold the Nissan Leaf's electric motor, the inverter, and the PDM. The PDM contains the charger, dc-to-dc converter, and HV junctions.

For my next EV conversion project, I bought a 1962 Mercury Comet station wagon in need of a restoration, and a 2014 Nissan Leaf that was wrecked and totaled. Here's my plans on how to convert it and everything that went into planning, testing, and preparing for the conversion.

YouTube can provide atom feeds for a channel's content, but not RSS feeds. My web site software can ingest RSS feeds but not Atom feeds. Here's how I converted the Atom feeds to RSS feeds. I used Node.js and a web server.

This is how I completely repaired the tailgate window regulator, lift motor, panel, seals and window channel felts on my 1962 Mercury Comet station wagon.

Making door panels for a VW Type 3 Squareback.

I bought a 1980 300TD (non turbo) a few weeks ago (my first Benz) and I'm trying to sort some things out. Here's the vin plate, if you'd like to decode it.

I always finish my projects like this by going out and taking some glamor shots.

I received this RMI Electra 300a, a really cool electronic piano from the early 1970's. Now it's time to restore it!

I've been using this service manual to tune up and repair my Electra 200, however it is actually for an Electra 368 piano. It's not easy to find on the net so I thought I would upload it to my website and make sure this valuable resource isn't lost forever.

I finally get to ride the bike I've been working on (and off) on for nearly two years. How did it perform? Read more to find out!

I saved the best for last: doing all of the wiring! I also had to program the Kelly controller, and here is how I did it.

There is a LOT you can do. The delivery of your child is something that the two of you will do, together, as a family. If you are able to do your part during the delivery, then your partner will love you more than ever because of it.
