I know your body shop guys are fitting the hood / side panels but without the battery pack, and I don't recall in your build thread if you ever did a mock up with the side panels and hood on with the battery pack installed. Could be an optical illusion in the pic, but the front of the battery pack seems like it's going to be very close to the top of the hood. Was that ever checked out with the side panels and hood on?

Thanks Jim..

Yes, the front pack clears the hood with a fair amount of space actually. I could do a small frunk if I wanted to. I originally had all the batteries up front in my first mock up with an extra layer of packs (4" tall) on the top. That was a close fit and too much weight up front so that's when I decided to split it up and move eight packs under the floor.

This is the only pic I have of that I guess. A friend of mine about my same size was sitting in the car helping check seat height, but I had the hood on and you can sort of see the clearance.
