Injury Update: Day 9 of "Mandatory Rest" I aint good at this shiet, so I go around making random things black, anybody know where this goes?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Reminds me of this Sport Truck article I read when I was in the middle of rebuilding my first truck. It definitely influenced some of the decisions I made on that project.

I see, yeah, but I think they are both brunettes and the one on the left just died her hair !

Nobody: hey what's it like trying to do an EV Conversion in California?

Me: it sucks


so I ordered this three way rocker switch, up (green) will be for Drive and down (red) will be for charge, yes this will be done manually during the first phase of the project, well, AMAZON shipped the switch but refuses to ship it's housing as it may cause California in the state of Cancer!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

ship it to me NJ has no cancer fear the Jersey Pike and all.... at least that's what they tell us :).... and ill ship it to you

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

meanwhile at Gimpy's Auto Body...

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

wait I know he has a bad knee and all, but didn't he just install a simple skirt thingie, he probably just laid it down on the frame horns and it ain't even bolted down, so what's the big deal?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

perhaps a gentle reminder is in order...

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Nice job on the truck, well done! Hope the knee is all better so you can drive it. Thanks for the entertaining build.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

thank you, I really appreciate that, kinda feeling down on myself right now, not sure if this is a sign of some bone disease or something, my left knee gave out at 45 but I used to run 3 to 5 miles 6 days a week back then

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

tell me there are no UFOs, so how do you explain these ???

What are they? [wrong answers only] ha ha

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Rear splash shields. Go behind the rear tires on the bed sides... Sorry, I don't know any wrong answers... :)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Here's a thumbs up for gimpy....:metal: nice work!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

All that running could contribute to the knee being unhappy. I switched to more weights, less running and a different diet to help my joints. It seems to be working for me.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Charging for the first time using a first gen Chevy Volt onboard charger, for now it's a manual process where I have to use the laptop to close the contactors and start the charger, but that soon will be automated

I have no idea how long it will take to fully charge yet, but I will be finding out soon.

the charger is water cooled and also charges the regular car battery

so this is what the simple Charger Menu looks like, I just wanted to show it to you guys, it is so easy to use:
