58 Patina Electric Truck

[303Radar]

My favorite is an old slug bug that was placed over a newer Tesla. It cost about 250k to do. It's my favorite because it makes our hobby seem cheap by comparison!

No issues here guys...I'm not a big fan of the EV's either but I am impressed with what the kid did with a HS education and a love of old vehicles. He is completely self taught.
I really don't know what the range is on a charge. He drives it back and forth to his shop where he is building a 59 Chev EV for a SoCal customer and a 56 Ford truck EV for a guy in England.
At least he is trying to save the old stuff.

Cecil that’s impressive!!!! Kudos to him for opening a niche that wasn’t there before. The environment here inCanada and electricity being expensive the EV’s really haven’t taken off except for the people that have excessive funds. The infrastructure doesn’t support it yet either but it’s coming.

Looked like a good burnout to me.

Better looking than a new F150, even if it has 532hp........

GM was experimenting with electric cars and hydrogen cars in the 1960's. I am still waiting for someone to tell me where we are going to get all the electric to power these cars. It is either burn oil or nuclear energy, both which the left say is bad. I don't see solar or wind being enough. I think that we will have gasoline / diesel vehicles around for at least another 30 years. Besides, the Chinese control the lithium mines, so they can stop development of batteries any time that they want.

Green hydrogen is on the way.

This will be common place before you know it. I'll be around long enough to see electric classics only shows.

Look for the burnout and autocross on a future episode of Bitchin Rides. Also there could be an electric carbon fiber Corvette replica in the works......just sayin.

Would that be the carbon fiber Corvette that kindigit is going to produce...??...... in the show he said he was looking to build at least three to start .......One of course for himself

According to my source, yes.

 

[63 dream'n]

According to my source, yes.

Nothing you haven’t seen Cecil, but you’ll find something interesting at the 24:30 mark.........

 

[oldskydog]

Yep, that's it,

 

[63 dream'n]

Yep, that's it,

Is that how, or where he met Kindigit......I frequently watch the show and have seen where they go to the Utah Good guys event

 

[oldskydog]

Kendig is in Salt Lake City where the show is filmed. Casey knows them and #2 son Chase works on that show and others as a soundman.

Just watched Bitchin Rides S8 E3 and it was a cool show. Cecil the son did real good. Kindig almost puts the truck into the wall during the autocross!

I missed that episode since I dropped cable. Maybe they will put it on youtube.
