      I've been looking for a clean 67 myself to do a build with but I have not been able to find one at a decent price. Just add about $25,000 to the cars price for electronics and batteries. Batteries are the big issue at the moment. If you want a set of new lithium batteries instead of used ones it's about $15,000 for about 42 KWh.

I just finished another S197 with a Tesla model 3 motor install you can see on CZcams also. Comparing the 2 the Model 3 motored one is such a beauty to drive great power and a lot better mileage. The Large motored Tesla Mustang is a beast and a tire melting animal. Both are a blast. And absolutely, frame modifications were necessary, what my videos to see what needs to be done.

    • @Roadstercycle

      I believe that's doable but it would take stretching and widening the body of the Mustang I think. You can go on line the get the wheel base and width of the Model 3 and then compare it to a 1970 Mustang. Sounds great but expensive. I had a 1970 Mach I and I agree it would be cool for sure.

    Great build ! Awesome content.. I have a couple of brand new tesla motors and the transmission/ no axles , and a tesla battery extended range , my question is if I were to put the drive train in a older pickup truck, besides the fabrication , how much would it cost for all the wiring,pumps,hoses,converters, etc.. give or take or maybe a ballpark idea?

    • @Roadstercycle
      @Roadstercycle  Před rokem

      Hi Maisy, That's kinda open ended question there. It really depends on the way you go with the parts you need. If you go with off the shelf items, Charger for drive pack, DC to DC converter, Motor controller, wiring, contactors, battery management system, fuses, water pump and misc. Probably close to $7000. Doing it smart and going the DIY way you could do it under $5000. Guesstimate. I need to d a DIY build help video on saving money on this subject.

    • @Roadstercycle
      @Roadstercycle  Před 3 lety +1

      For 200 miles in my setup I would have needed about 80-90 Kwh if you drove it nice. Good luck with that! The thing was an absolute blast to drive, acceleration is a drug. The car did not have AC or a heater as it adds weight. I could of done it but it was not a daily driver, it was an adrenaline machine. If you want a daily commuter go buy a Tesla and be done. That's why I have a Model 3 too. It did have power steering and brakes. You can add electric steering rack to your car out of a 2012.

The only time I do drawings is when I need G code to use one of my CNC machines which did not happen on the Mustang build. The only time I write things down or make a quick sketch is when I'm doing measurements for cutting or drilling. Building on the fly is so much quicker and easier than stopping and doing drawings for a one off design. That's why I could build one in 3 months instead of a year or two. Drawings are really for production of multiple models in a manufacturing world. Again, I love what your doing.

      Absolutely. It just takes some engineering skill, time and money. It's not going to just bolt right in. I was wanting to do a Late model Camaro but the donor car prices where ridiculous. I like to stay around $5000 for a donor car and that was not happening with a Camaro. The build I'm doing now is a 2008 VW GTI. It should be insanely quick.

    I want to do the same. I have owned a 67 Convertible, a 67 Fastback, and a 2006 Mustang GT. I currently own a Kia Soul EV and a Nissan Leaf EV. Luckily, I live in Florida, so the weather is always warm. Also I need it to be fast. When I moved down here with my 06 Stang, I thought I was fast, but when you're surrounded by Lamborghini's and McLaren's I really feel slow.

      If the car was still in my stable you would be more than welcome to come check it out. The problem is that AEM bought the car to do design work on their EV line of products. They took it to the drag strip a couple weeks ago after they swapped the sport motor with a base motor and ran 11.8 seconds consistently in the 1/4 mile. Next they are working on the Sport motor control. I am in the process of building another Mustang right now which will be able to run a Model S motor or Model 3 motor. Your more than welcome to come check it out in a few weeks as its get further along.

Stateside, it looks like one of the Land Rover tuners is offering the same EV conversion that Vintage Voltage did. They didn’t name names in the episode, but I think Quaife made all the parts.
