@braincandylive do you want to come visit MIT workshops tomorrow?

A good day for wiring #carconversion #transform

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

Finally figuring out the electrical components! #gogreen #ev #convert #electriccar

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

Often feels like we take apart more than we put together, currently that feeling is completely true #carconversion

Assembled Battery boxes with see-through covers 😍😍😍 #electriccar #conversion #battery #mazda #rx7

Boxed In https://t.co/EziV88KCHj

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

The boxes in their full 48 battery filled glory.Working on water sealing with close to zero space for covers. Ideas?

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

All clamped up, Now just for some coverage to protect the batteries

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

We try every position to get the right measurements #ev

3 sheets of metal within the chassi and a foot long drill with metal and dirt raining down all the while👌🏼👌🏼

More #welding for structural support with the car and back box.

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

Taking out a structural bar requires reinforcing the box itself, meaning more metal and welding!

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

We cut some more holes for the 3rd battery box.

@TimeHorse haha thanks Jeffrey, but I think you mean this for @TeslaMotors . We also have an electrical vehicle but we are not a company :)

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

Everyone can lend a hand, in this case even a paw :) #electronics #cat (no animals were hurt)

[STEM Car Conversion @TeslaEV]

All clean! Two cans of WD-40 and a roll of shop towels later the bell housing is finally grease free.
