Walt, I think this is a neat idea. Keep us informed as to your progress. I'd be very interested in hearing more about these batteries of yours, if you are at liberty and/or willing to discuss them. Keep in mind I am not a battery person so you'll have to go easy on me with the technical terms. ;-) Any ideas yet on what kind of statistics you'll be looking at when you're done (speeds, range, etc), or is this still very preliminary? Oh, and... Welcome back. :) -Ryan On 6/16/07, Walter Coe <BarefutWalt@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I am getting ready to convert 3 of my DeLoreans to be totally > electrically-powered cars.
