This weekend had a bit of a milestone on the EV project. The rear battery boxes are not closed in and mechanically complete. A coat a primer has been applied, and some seam sealer and a coat of paint will be going on it over the next few days so that it's ready to accept the batteries this coming weekend! Here are some photos:

Aside from the front battery box, the major fabrication work is now complete. Lots of little things still to do, but this rear box has been a slog and I'm glad it's done. Hopefully from here on out progress will feel more steady and frequent. Little things should go by in quick succession.
