Been working on a project with a guy at work. He is building an electric ford ranger and I have been helping him with welding and machine work. I'll get more pics of the whole rig and all the parts but for now here is the electric motor adapted to the trans. I made the aluminum adapter plates and cut teh end of the crank off and machined an adapter to fit the motor shaft so the stock clutch could be used. Attachments:

Looks pretty good, does he know what kind of range he'll get for daily driving, or is it just for drag racing? I've looked into converting my bug, but for the price just to get about a 40 mile range was $$$.
