Well Tom Neiland and I removed the cooling system and gas tank yesterday in further preparation for the conversion to electric power. Now a big question. I am thinking of removing the "floor" of the front bonnet compartment, including the recess for the spare tire, to allow more room for batteries. Anyone have an opinion as to whether this will have any structural impact? I plan to leave about a 2 -3 inch border of fiberglass around the perimeter. BTW the engine and tranny are already out and the new electric motor has arrived....
