Nothing major done this week. Just tying up the loose ends I've been slowly making. Got all the steering linkage finished. Finish welded all the steering pivot mounts. Mounted the grill and installed the winch. The winch isn't needed at this point but it's on the list of things to do so I went ahead and did it. Also installed all 14 Nissan Leaf battery modules and found where I'm pretty sure the controller will go. Last, I set the rear bodywork on the back half of the frame and the steering console on the front half. Not really sure about the console...doesn't look right. I need to figure out how I'm going to mount my steering parts. I also need to find a home for the 12v battery, high voltage contactor, water pump, radiator, winch contactor, and shunt. It really feels like I've moved past the stage of fabrication. Now it's time to make it electric! Thanks for watching, Bill
