There&#8217;s been a some progress in the last few weeks, but none of it has been really picture-worthy until now. Besides a new side project (which I&#8217;m very excited about and on which I&#8217;ll post here in the coming week or so), I&#8217;ve been gradually forming and welding the frame segments together, and this past [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The frame segments are coming together, slowly but surely. I made a good bit of progress this weekend, though there&#8217;s not much visually interesting to share besides the handful of pictures I&#8217;ve posted in the image gallery. The best news is that I&#8217;ve gotten the side plates welded together on one of the two frame [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m happy to say that the viewing distance of my TIG welds at which they could be mistaken for &#8220;good&#8221; welds is decreasing, gradually. Six months ago it might have been 15 meters, obscuring the embezzlement of most of my &#8220;stack of dimes&#8221; (welder&#8217;s term for an evenly rippled, well-executed weld bead) by unknown parties [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
For a while, the sound of Mark Farver&#8217;s MR2 has been a topic of amusement. Not the shhhh sound during acceleration that&#8217;s characteristic of its 1000-amp Zilla motor controller, or the sounds of shock absorbers and other parts you don&#8217;t normally hear as clearly in a gas-powered car. These are common features of electric vehicles, [...]]]></description>

I looks like the timing has worked out better than I&#8217;d thought. On Wednesday I belatedly ordered a set of Heim joints for the 4-link from the friendly folks at AED Motorsport, and happily they arrived today so I&#8217;ll be able to use them as spacers when I try to assemble the front mounts this [...]]]></description>

What I&#8217;d hoped to be a small task for the first part of the day ended up being an all-day affair, but I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s done and I think it turned out well. You may recall having seen in previously-posted pictures of my plan drawing, a top hole in the suspension front mount that seemed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short post again, and again no pictures ready.
I&#8217;ve recently been cutting out the inside pieces, again with finish cutting generously provided by Erik Bigelow (huge thanks for the help!) who was able to make quick work of them this week.
In the meantime, I&#8217;ve also been working on some test welds of different varieties, the same [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been a while, as I&#8217;ve been in Dallas both for work and family matters. I&#8217;ve also taken some time to help out with other goings on locally; Mark Witt is still working on his Ranger battery pack conversion which is facing some unfortunate setbacks, and Erik Bigelow recently led an &#8220;EV Intro&#8221; session which [...]]]></description>

This evening Phoenix Motorcars held their second of two public events unveiling what they&#8217;re calling simply the &#8220;Sport Utility Truck&#8221; or SUT. The first was in LA; this one was in Dallas where several AustinEV members travelled to catch the show. What we saw was indeed a pickup truck with seating for 5, and there [...]]]></description>
