Re: [non-rocco] electric car project

[Night Shadow <soltwede@ucsub.colorado.edu>]

I would suggest doing some searches on the internet, there is a guy that
works at NIST (National Institute of Standards..) here in Boulder Colorado
with an Electric Cabriolet...I know he has a web site, and I have talked
to him, he is more than willing to tell you all the parts and things you
will need....sorry I don't have the address
