Off With His Hood!

Ok... So, I started by removing the hood and the trunk liner. I have to admit, I had trouble disconnecting the wires to the (nonfunctional) trunk light. No worries - one snip with the wire cutters and... problem solved! My plan is to replace the light with a bright LED light, but I won't get to that for a while.

One observation: the trunk has a lot of room for an array of batteries, especially if you remove the 19 gallon gas tank and the questionable spare. (Note: the spare might be usable, but I'm not really interested in using the Porsche jack on the side of the road. I'd rather just call AAA.)

I keep thinking about going electric, but it probably won't happen this time around. Other people have created electric 911s, but most of the others cut corners and the ranges are not great. If I did it, I would try to make it as Tesla-like as possible.
