Door Moldings, Weather Strip, and Side Mirrors

Our team recently completed the install of new door moldings, weatherstrip, and side mirrors provided by Late Model Restoration. The previous weather strip and moldings have become extremely worn, and were in need of being replaced. The side mirrors were also worn and in need of replacement. Late Model Restoration supplied moldings and weatherstrip for both doors, all windows, the trunk, and windshield. Late Model Restoration also supplied new side mirrors and a new rear-view mirror for our project.

The next big step in our project is installing the controller, DC/DC Converter, and auxiliary battery before the EV Challenge next week.

Trunk and Battery Racks Painted

The team decided to paint the sheet metal around the metal battery racks to make the trunk look sleeker and more professional since many people will be seeing the batteries and the inside of the trunk during exhibitions. The team removed the battery racks and removed the factory paint from the hole which the battery rack fits into. The team also painted the battery racks black to match the paint job inside of the trunk. Now the trunk and the racks inside of it have a fresh coast of paint and are looking sharp.
