High-voltage wiring for my EV conversion project using a 1962 Mercury Comet and a 2014 Nissan Leaf.
What sets the build apart from 99% of other EV conversions is that I'm using a De Dion design for the rear axle. Here's what it is and how I made it.

I've been using this service manual to tune up and repair my Electra 200, however it is actually for an Electra 368 piano. It's not easy to find on the net so I thought I would upload it to my website and make sure this valuable resource isn't lost forever.
I finally get to ride the bike I've been working on (and off) on for nearly two years. How did it perform? Read more to find out!
I saved the best for last: doing all of the wiring! I also had to program the Kelly controller, and here is how I did it.
There is a LOT you can do. The delivery of your child is something that the two of you will do, together, as a family. If you are able to do your part during the delivery, then your partner will love you more than ever because of it.
With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the US is poised to be the world leader in fighting climate change.
It's been almost a year since I worked on this project. Time to bring it back!
