Beginning the Project

Placed car in garage and raised it onto 4 jacks stands (AC Delco, 3 Ton, 6000 pounds, #34124). The bottom edge of car is now elevated 19 inches from the ground.

I think that I need to make a sturdy template that can be mounted on the undercarriage as a reference point for the elevation of the drive shaft and the base of the transmission.

Next time I will drain all fluids from radiator, gas tank, transmission, and oil pan.
I would like to weigh all of the parts as they are removed from the donor to track the weight reduction as the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) changes into an EV.

I have decided to place this project on The Electric Vehicle Photo Album  ( http://www.evalbum.com ) so that others can see all the mistakes that I make and see that you do not need to be a "car guy" to have fun doing a conversion.  My EV address on the Photo Album is: http://www.evalbum.com/4226  .
