i think it is pretty cool and would get alot of attention at a car show. and for the person named coupe, who in there right mind would drive this car in the winter when it is cold. i am sure it is put up for the winter. nice ride and even better imagination. keep up the good work

Yep, eff them all, real nice attitude! Mitch, you’re the one who said earlier the battery acid would eat you alive. DUHHHHHHHHH

Cool, man ! I say eff all you guys who are bashing this project. I think it’s real cool. Who’s gonna get more attention at a car show, me with my matching-numbers, all-original ’70 Duster 340, or Bruce with the most unique ride at the event ? I say Bruce is the hands-down winner !
Duster “cores” are worth little these days unless they are genuine 340 cars (like mine !)that haven’t been all hacked-up.
Since he yanked a 360 from this car, I’m guessing it was a clone car when he got it anyhow. Nuthin’wrong with clone cars either,very cool but if it was a 318 car or a 6 cyl when it was born, you can install pedals in it if that’s what you want as long as it makes you happy. Looking forward to reading the blog.

Oh, and you now have a 4,000 pound car with no power steering or brakes. Delightful.

I sure hope that those batteries are securely tied down. Imagine those 50 pounds lumps flying around in a crash!

Does it have a heater/defroster? No. Notice that these electrics nearly all come from warm places. The range sounds adequate at first, but you try driving it [or any electric] in the winter when it’s 10 degree’s and you’ve got the lights and wipers going, let alone any kind of heat. You’d be very lucky to get 10-20 miles per charge.

As far as the car goes, although it seems to be an interesting piece of engineering, it’s kind of the answer to a question nobody asked. And $12,000 would have bought a lot of gas.

Sorry, but I’ll pass.

just a shot of reality here. 12 g’s to go 40-50 miles? that’s not even a commute for most people. lets talk about 26 lead acid batteries that don’t seem to have any vapor collection system, will have that nice orange paint peeling in no time. what if it was to be wrecked? 26 gallons of sulfuric acid on the pavement. quite a hazmat nightmare. all in all not practical, hell, not even fun to drive! you want to flip off the oil companies? get an e85 carb for that 360 or run cng. you want a 0 emission vehicle? get a bicycle!

im a girl. and im 16, and only standing 5’5”, so yeah mister. i am short.

*whistles* sweeeet :]
