EV1E’s Home
This is great! I drove her home, drove her to the store, drove her to band practice and didn’t use one drop of gasoline. She is really starting to look like a real car. Check out the photos…

May’s Gonna Be Great!
OK here is the latest. I will get Ev1e back from Cars etc. next week (after Wednesday) and I have some work to do before I get the interior done. The first thing is moving the wheels out so that they fit in the wheel wells properly. The next is…Performance. The fastest I have been able to go so far is 58 mph. This car is supposed to be able to go 90 mph I have been in touch with the folks at Azure and they sent me some parameter settings for a DMOC capture. I will be running some driving test and sending them the results. They will then send me the proper settings to make my car Go go go! Then I will get the interior done. Here are some more pics of EV1E’s progress. The changes are subtle but definite.

Body Shop
This is how EV1E looked today. Note the door jams and the lip around the headlight housing. Rigo is going to do a little more work on the headlight housing and prep it for paint. The directional lights have changed as well…more later.

My Green Car
The guys have been busy over at Cars Etc. and I thought I would share the results! Look at the lines on this baby. The doors open and close with just two clicks and the doors are starting to look as if they came with the car. And look at those headlight housings…I’ll bet those lenses fit much better now. But stay tuned we have got even more surprises in store.
Thanks guys, way to go!!

I went to visit EV1E at Cars Etc. and found that Rigo has been at it again. This is a picture of the latest incarnation of the Tail section. Just a little more sculpting and this section of her will be a master piece.

Rigo’s Work in Progress

- Right Set

- Left Set
Today I went to Cars Etc to check up on EV1E’s progress and I discovered that Rigo was on vacation. Before he left though he was busy on EV1E. The doors are coming along just fine. They are a force to be reckoned with, and Fidel is just the guy to tame them. Booth doors latch now and open and close without obstruction.

- Fidel Solves the “Door Problem”
Yesterday when I went over to Cars Etc., I was shown by Fidel how well the passenger side door works now. It opens and closes. and latches completely, just like a real door! Meanwhile Rigo has started the tail lights sculpture and as you can see they are coming along beautifully!
