Walkertown, NC

Today, Mr. Butler, Mike, and I are taking a little trip to a small junk yard in Walkertown, NC. I can't remember the name of the place at the moment, but i'll post it on here at a later date.

Our main mission is to obtain a carpet that is in better condition than the rag-tag, stained rug that currently inhabits the Mustang EV. Along the way we are hoping to spot any extra needed pieces that we currently don't have.

Hopefully, one thing that will catch our eye is a manual steering rack. Our plan is to remove the hydraulic steering system (power steering) and convert it to a system that requires no type of fluid. This, in turn, will eliminate unecessary weight and create a safer way to control the automoblie in case of an emergency.
