Rear Seat Delete Install

One of the key challenges of the EV Challenge is to make sure your team's vehicle looks as stock as possible, basically to make the car look like nothing was changed on it. In order to meet this requirement, our team has removed the rear seat that was in our Mustang, but installed a rear-seat delete kit supplied by Late Model Restoration. The rear seat delete consists of three pieces of thin plywood covered with carpet to simulate the rear seats and provides some extra cargo space under the "seat". The install was pretty easy and went very well. The Mustang's interior should look great now going into the EV Challenge this weekend.

The car is in the final stages of its conversion as our team races to finish before the competition. The next step includes rigging a kill switch onto the main batteries, installing new tires and wheels onto the Mustang, and completing the interior.
