Hi Thomas and All,
Not much to see for a while . Just looks
like a 63 Vette shell.. I should have a blog, etc soon so people can follow it.
Go to the USBody fiberglass keywords and
click on 63-67 Corvette on the left and you can see the parts where I'm at now,
from the same mold. Click on the pic and more finished ones show up.

Hi All,
Things are
moving along in my 63 Vette looking EV project. The
body, hood, doors were pulled out of the molds Friday so now
the fun begins!! ;^)
It still has
some touchup, fitting the doors but should have it home
Friday. The shop with the mold which normally make drag
racer bodies, USBody, were amazed how strong it was with
my layup inside to make it structural as going to be a
unibody/monocoque with a composite chassis bonded into a
single piece.
It is the male
mold for my actual production one which I'll modify some
to make more aero, easier, stronger to build at less
weight and make the production simplified molds from it.
The mold it came out of has 10 parts vs mine will be 3
parts. ;^)
Now in the process
of taking a 90 C4 Vette apart for suspension, steering,
A/C, etc which I'm selling the other parts to pay for it
and take the motor out which being fairly handicapped now, I
just can't do anymore. So I sold the transmission for
$100 but to get it they have to take the motor, A/C,
etc out.
Once that is done
Saturday I hope, I can handle the rest by working until I
hurt too much, rest, repeat at my home shop.
Once the suspension
is off I can design, build the composite chassis and mate it
all together fairly quickly.
Right now using
2 6.7"motors because I own them, I'm on SSI so
lowest cost is a big factor, but hopefully I can get an
A/C EV motor/controller that is hacked I can use. But
must be a shaft output I can put on a diff . Might have to
change rear suspension so I can adapt a Tesla to it now they
have been hacked. And hard to beat in power, cost as
more crash.
It should end up
weighing 1800lbs or so with 2 Volt packs worth 600kw if I
can use it which should get me 150, maybe -200 mile range as
I drive it.
As now legal to
build 325 25 yr old or more looking cars/yr/model and 5k/yr
/company with minimal/Hot rod regulations, my goal is
producing production lines of multiple models including El
Camino, a Van, A Brubaker Box style gull wing tiny van, 68
Mustang fastback, etc.
All done the
same tech in EVs drives to get EVs being produced locally
since big auto certainly isn't going to fast enough as
they have shown.
