We got a late start this evening because it took a while to cool down out in the garage. We are definitely moving into the heat that we usually see around here in the summer. I really had hoped to be done with the project by now. Oh well. What is life without its challenges?

Chris stopped by and bought some lasers today so that we could be more accurate in how we measure things in designing the under hood space. They are pretty nice, with one of them being the self-leveling variety. The only cheesy thing about it was that they came with this set of goggles with red lenses which would supposedly help you see the red line being drawn by the laser. I honestly couldn't tell much of a difference with them on or off. They did, however, provide for a bit of comic relief. I being the only one willing to take a picture while wearing them... Not that I am going to ever show it to anybody.

We also spent the time to get the car leveled on its jacks. Things have been going fine up until now, but we are about to do some things that span the entire space. Getting accurate measurements will mean less monkeying around, editing metal later. So, today was spent mostly working out the design of the cross-engine bay supports that will hold up the battery boxes and provide a platform for us to lay out the control hardware, contactors and such.

I also spent a little while working on smoothing out the seems on the welds we did in the back. It is looking really nice back there. I will do a bit of fill welding and then we should be good for some primer and paint.
