Third time is the charm

[@truenorth365]

Man I really enjoying watching your electric kit-car coming along. What fun would it be if everything, everytime goes according to plan? The feeling when it´s all done, will be worth it I believe. Thank you for sharing your videos. Thumbs up from Sweden!

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks Friend!

[@thanhle-mq7jp]

Great solution making it square and it will pass near the hoops. No kit yet

[@rjung_ch]

It's looking great, happy for you, it'll be a blast to drive for sure

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks Friend!

[@davidgoff5883]

Where you get stress cracks in fibreglass , besides filling them you should reinforce underneath 🙂

[@electricsupercar]

Good call

[@cmorejava]

Glad to see the hinges are providing the range of motion you need. If I may suggest two more areas of concern; if you haven't considered it yet, you may want to rebuild the rain channel (that you cut out) lower with a separate drain hose to protect your electronics below that point, and second, keep an eye on the attachment points where the hinges attach to the deck lid, if the factory didn't provide any reinforcement in the lid at that point you may see the fiberglass begin to fatigue over time. One solution might be to fabricate a steel perimeter frame that connects both sides and the latch mechanism. This will also ensure that everything remains properly aligned. Best of luck! Did I miss the part where you cut off the pointy end of the lid?

[@alberto7095]

Was about to suggest the drainage too! :D

[@electricsupercar]

21:14 is where I cut the trunk lid. Thanks for the suggestions

[@creightonfreeman8059]

It is amazing that one of the hardest things about building an electric car is getting the rear hatch/trunk to open and close properly. I had the same problem. I hate hinges!

[@metalworker3]

Way to go! A robust solution to deck lid stability issue, and literally cut your losses with that pesky triangle section between the roll hoops. It really doesn’t look like you Lisa anything!

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks!

[@deanmcmanis9398]

It is nice to see the trunk gutter, trim and hinge issues solidly resolved. The black undercoating really cleaned up the inner body appearance. Of course these will be largely unnoticed by the casual viewer because they blend into the design, but they add to the overall finished look and feel of the car.

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks Dean!

[@HRDAPROD]

That thing really looks like a Angel, Angel GT!

[@J.P.__]

End result looking good as always, you're becoming quite the master for fiberglass work. I'd probably rather search or build a four-link type hinge that comer rather straight up before it starts to rotate.

[@liljon4x4]

Keep it up!!!

[@electricsupercar]

Will do

[@Fersman1972]

So close, I can smell it, lol. I can't wait to see it in all its glory.

[@electricsupercar]

You and me both!

[@Fersman1972]

@@electricsupercar I bet. It is going to be something to behold

[@Wwhitewulf]

Great progress as always! The Mazda hinges worked well. Quite like the black rubber coating on the inside. I have a Tvr and fibreglassed my roof for some work, in the corners I have vibration cracks and did the same as yourself, ground out and filled.. but also added steel bars underneath for extra support. Unsure if you might need the same as potentially caused from removing the body where as mine was from road use, but an idea perhaps for future. As always, well done.

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks for the comment!

[@1Nolimited]

Nice job on the trunk is the best choice :-)

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks 👍

[@Jayguy1966]

I was a little bummed when you got the hinges on and the nose/point of the hood still caught, but squaring it off looks like its working. The hinges do seem to help with stability too. As suggested a frame connecting the hinge mount points and latch point might help too. Cant wait to see it registered and driving legally.

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks Jay!

[@dave5833]

Another Great Video thanks Keep em coming:))))

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks Friend!

[@dannyfennell5707]

Great video lots of work, but the reward is worth it. You looked pretty hot during this shoot make sure you are drinking lots of water! Take care.

[@electricsupercar]

LOL! Thanks!

[@mackenziepm]

Maybe it just be easier to do a whole single piece opening rear clamshell? Like a Lotus Elise

[@samw931]

I really wish i were you and own this boy🚘🚘🚘

[@electricity1404]

4:20 You will get the prize in the end, the finished car! 😉

[@electricsupercar]

LOL! Great Prize!

[@stevenbalderstone709]

I have admiration for your perseverance; great result!

[@electricsupercar]

Thanks Friend!

[@silencerko]

For the iPad holder, you could 3d print it or ask someone with a 3d printer to make you one.

[@electricsupercar]

Good call!

[@ghostup101]

Not first but early. 😃

[@RoundprismMedia]

Great job. Will you be doing an AMA anytime soon?

[@electricsupercar]

I would love to. I have to finish the build first

[@romycha7493]

Have you considered getting an iPad dash kit from Soundman?

[@electricsupercar]

I'll check it out! Thanks!

[@J.P.__]

Is it wrong that I totally felt named when you said some of the viewers suggested the linkages? Lol.

[@roykaplan]

I didn't see where you decided to cut off the front of the trunk lid. I thought that you had it all worked out and were just going to rebuild the rain channel to avoid the trunk tip. Next thing we see is that you're filling up the the triangle in the body. Why did you decide to "square-off" the trunk lid?

[@electricsupercar]

21:14 is where I cut off the trunk lid. This is the only way I could see to get things to work

[@roykaplan]

@@electricsupercar Thanks :) Don't know how I missed it. Keep up the amazing effort!

[@catalinalb1722]

Super project, I am watching every weekend 🙂. I have seen the Toyota 86 in the background. Is it yours? I would like to acquire one here in Germany. What is your opinion about it? Thank you 🙂 👍

[@electricsupercar]

It's a fun little sports car. It is a little underpowered. Add a supercharger and the performance matches the looks

[@kingtex223]

How do you charge the car?

[@electricsupercar]

Check out this episode kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGWvhJWmnd2Am6s

[@ammanalam2001]

Is it legal to drive this in public

[@mikeg6988]

He should be able to register it as a kit car.

[@electricsupercar]

Not yet...but soon

[@JoeGP]

to get faster charging rates shouldn't you get 240V in the garage anyway ?

[@electricsupercar]

Yep! On my upgrade list!
