Well, the chassis isn't here yet, scheduled for early May, so it's getting close, but I have made some updates to the electric powerplant plans.

The basics: 536 hp Tesla drive unit, 2 sets of 18 kw Che y Volt batteries, an EV Controls t1c drive controller, and a 135 amp DC to DC converter for the 12v side.

I have a number of videos on YouTube describing all of this, the most recent update is here: https://youtu.be/T5rVopy3kK4.

I also disassembled the Volt pack here: https://youtu.be/8u7PpmmWsxE

Cool... Once i finish my GTM i was going to talk my wife into letting me buy a 33 ford kit .... keep the side covers off the engine bay and replace the engine with a big chrome electric motor!

Batteries could go in the rumble seat location.

I will be watching your build!
