If I get it done in time it will be in Charlotte at least. Hopefully! My little HOTROD will be 72 volts I hope by then. Rhett approves of it already.

I talked to the wife earlier tonight and it's a go on the 72 volts. I gutted the old dragster 72 volt stuff today just in case. Now to get busy on it and get it ready for Myrtle Beach and then Charlotte.Retirement is better than I thought!

Jesse it is a one off for sure. Bill was a barber by trade but he loved wood working. He cut all the wood himself for it.
I went by the local surf shop here in Garden City today and picked up a board for it. Timmy is going to do the board up for me to match it and do a memorial on it for Bil.Retirement is better than I thought!

I've been down at the beach house for 5 days and it's driving me crazy. I need to get home and start working on Woodie so he will be ready for the car show in March here at the beach. I have ordered a GPS spedometer digital voltmeter and parking lights to add to him. I'm going to take the dash out and cut a new one for the speedo, digital meter, head light's & key switch. I will hook the lights up to the high beam indicator to let me know they are on and may see if I can use the turn signal lights for the parking lights.

Woodie got a new posi unit rear end today along with a new 72 volt motor! A good cleaning and new battery trays installed. I also got the Foward/ Reverse mounted in the floor and the opening cut for the cables. I cleaned up and got all the 72 volt electronics ready to install as soon as I finish the coating on the under side.

My B plan is running! The posi trac rear end makes for some interesting rides at speed! I'm waiting on GPS speedometer and digital volt meter to arrive and cut a new dash for it. 9-8 volts a little over $1100.00 in batteries! 00 welding cable for the battery cables. Here are a couple of video's. I got the shifter in and trying to find a cool knob for it.

It's a lot better than I thought. 35 + MPH and stayed at 30MPH going up hill! It's so fast it blew the door off! Not really but it blew it open so that's why the video stopped.
