Getting close…

Getting really close on two fronts.

First, this afternoon was dedicated to penetrating to the core. Uh, well, the heater core. And although I didn’t quite reach it, after 3 hours and some assistance by AustinEV member R.D. Childers, the dash did finally come out. Of course by this time it was too dark to take useful pictures, so no shots of the carnage yet. But the vent module is now visible, and hopefully shouldn’t be difficult to remove. Behind that, the prize. Hopefully in the next few days I’ll be able to get the heater core out and start thinking about how I’m going to design its electric replacement.

The big news though .. ah, very good news. Yesterday I got the call from Netgain I’ve been waiting for, for months. My Warp13 motor is ready to ship, and I should have it in a week or so. Better yet, they took pictures, a few of which I’ve posted in the Motor gallery.

The Warp lineup: 8, 11, and 13
This is probably my favorite so far — a lineup of the Warp8, the huge new Warp11, and … well, mine.
