Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Reporting in from beautiful Sedona, wow! You have made a lot of progress. I'm offline for the better part of a week and look!! I'm going back through this build again, as I am very impressed with the electric power stuff you are doing.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I have that swag bandsaw stand and like it, but the cutting depths are pretty shallow as you found. I have an old Craftsman and a DC motor that I plan to convert, when time allows.

That is the high tech method I used to remove windshields from my Demo Derby cars. Wear gloves and safety glasses!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
but you aint here for shaddy body work and rust repair is you?
since I only replace the blade on this saw once a decade it only took me 9 hours to figure out [again] how to do it, YES IT IS A REVERSE THREAD BOLT, thank you Delta for not putting a sticker on the saw stating that, makes for much more fun |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
so I am sourcing these batteries from a 2018 BMW 530e hybrid vehicle and a Battery Pack consists of six of these Cell Modules (a cell module being a brick the size of a regular car battery, except packing nearly 60 volts each) so the entire pack is roughly 360 volts
I plan on running three of these packs in parallel giving me still only 360 volts but adding up the range, my goal being 100 miles (all needing much testing and experimentation) |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
and here is the entire first six pack mocked up, I think it needs to go forward sum towards the bow more but for now I just laid them on the flatest part of the frame [and yes flatest is a word, I just made it a word]
