At the end of May the batteries were supposed to arrive. They didn't. So, I email the retailer and he basically tells me it's not going to happen, that I need to cancel the order through my credit card. Thanks dude. So, I cancel the order and look for another retailer. Found the same batteries from another place for a bit higher price.
Then, last Saturday we got to work on the battery chassis. It took several hours, but Luke was on a mission. Here's some pictures.
While he was making that, I made a plastic piece for the electrical components to adhere to.
I was doing this most of the night.
Luke then transferred the wood template of the motor mount to the metal and got to work. I can't believe I didn't take any pictures of that process because it was pretty involved. I guess I was pretty drunk by that point and forgot. After we drilled out the mounting holes, we learned that the holes were well off. It took a lot of filing to fix them. But, we did it and Luke welded it to the A-frame tonight.
The batteries came in yesterday. This is what they look like.
