After reading your build thread over there, I can see this rearend swap wasn't much of a stretch for your abilities.

Don't take this in a negative way.....Did you build that electric car stuff right there in your shop ? It looked like a lot of jigsaw and drillpress work was done. I didn't see any high tech machinery or discussion about three axis CAD files and other similar rocket surgery. There's guys out there doing half the work with equipment that costs in the millions.

Oh well, I'm off to spend the rest of the day reading about electric car conversions on that other board.
