Evan Axelbank of NBC Channel 5 West Palm Beach News called on me this evening and asked to do an interview. They were doing a pre-story on the opening of the new charging stations in Delray Beach which officially open tomorrow. Evan and his photographer came out to my home and interviewed me about my car and how having the charging stations will impact owners of electric cars. I got a chance to take Mr. Axelbank for a ride and give him a taste of what driving an electric car feels like.

The story aired on the 11:00 news.
Got to take the car out on it’s first public outing today. I was asked to give a presentation at the Gold Coast Electric Auto Association. The meeting was only about ten miles from my house but it was the farthest it’s been from home so far.
It was a nice drive to downtown Boca Raton and the car performed well. It got a lot of looks on the short trip. This is a complement in a town that typically has a lot of exotic cars.
It was a real honor to present my car to the guys at the club. A few of the guys there have their own converted cars so they understood what it took to build this one. Though they had been hearing about it from me for two years and a lot of them have been a big help in giving me encouragement and assisting with lots of questions, none of them had yet seen the final product.
With the back removed for some body work, I took some photos of the completed battery configuration.
Photos of the interior as it takes shape.
I am also including work on the arm rests for the doors.
With the mechanics and electrical work done it’s time to finish off the body. I never really liked how the back end came out. The bumper was too heavy looking. I decided to redo it. So the back was removed and work was started by cutting off the parts I didn’t like and gluing in new foam to form.
