Phase 1 - Repairs
So, I have my 1996 Chevy S-10 pickup truck in the garage, but it needs a little work done on the appearance side of things before any actual conversion work will start. I will start by replacing the driver side mirror today. I bought a replacement from an eBay store on-line and received it yesterday.
I started reading Bob Brant's Build Your Own Electric Vehicle book today. It is from 1994, so some of the things are a little dated, but the rule W = V * A (and many others) are still the same. There is a updated version of this book being released in October, so I'll have to see if I can get it before I start my conversion. http://www.mhprofessional.com/product.php?isbn=0071543732
I am figuring that there will be 3 phases to this project, Repair, Remove, and Rebuild. I am estimating the repair phase to take 2 months. Hopefully that is a conservative estimate, but I will have some business travel to do next month.
Overall, I am excited to get started on this project. It should turn out really good and will be a good, efficient, cheap and reliable mode of transportation for many years to come.
