We're only a few days out from seeing this twin Tesla swapped C10 squarebody out on the floor of the Toyo Tire Treadpass in SEMA and less than a week away from you guys seeing this truck driving on the road. The EV C10 will be sitting pretty with its carbon fiber widebody kit at the show! We got a lot to do and very little time to do it. So we're finishing up installing our trim as well as our switch panel on the dash of the EV truck. Sikky Manufacturing sent us over some wild handbrakes, and they were way too cool not to install. So Donny plasma cut a bracket for us, welded it all up and got it bolted down to our cab floor. The guys from City Autoglass came through just in time to install our windshield and back glass so we don't have bugs, dirt, and debris flying in our faces! To wrap up our outer cab, we added an APR carbon fiber mirror on the driver's side to compliment our giant carbon fiber wing and add a little asymmetrical 80's flare to our electric squarebody. Donny absolutely killed electric big window kit fabrication and install, letting us finish up the doors with some custom panels. We also had Steve Molans from Skeptik Innovations in the shop to kick the lighting on our truck up another level. Not only did he build a crazy set of LED tail lights for the truck, he also got to work making a wild infinity box in the trough we cut in the tail gate a few episodes back. This one-off set up brought the back end of this truck to a whole new dimension. Then finally, our Polycup MCU arrived at the shop, so we could mount our touchscreen console in the custom bracket that Donny had fabricated for us. This display will show us a whole bunch of data from our Tesla set up, including readings from the motors, inverters, and battery; along with a little 3D version of the S2SLA truck sitting right on the screen. Now we know what you guys are thinking... where's the burnout, right? Well we ran into a few hiccups. Working with salvaged parts, sometimes it's hard to know what you're getting. The inverter for the front motor isn't working properly, and the same goes 2 of our 4 Tesla water pumps. While we have a working rear motor, not having the proper cooling to the battery is too risky to really rip this truck like we'd like to at the moment. But don't worry! The guys at Autobahn Dismantling took care of everything we need to get this truck able to rip AWD standing burnouts like we planned. So as soon as we get the truck back from SEMA, we'll be working through all of these bugs, get all 4 wheels spinning, and rip some fat, smokey, standing burnouts for you guys, put in some lap times, and show you what this truck is built to do. WE PROMISE! But for now we have to load this truck up on the trailer to make sure we can get out to SEMA next week!
Thank you all for the love and support you've show us. We never expected to grow this fast, and we wouldn't have been able to do it without your help.

The attention to detail on this build is just nuts. As an electronics engineer and squarebody lover, this has to be my fav build on youtube so far. I don't think anything at SEMA will compare.
Thank you so much!
I don’t know man. Seems like they cut a few corners on this one.
Awesome content 👏
Whoever has been selecting the chilwave music throughout the build deserves a high five or six pack !! Martin-Texas
Glad you like it!
YES!!! Finally a channel that plays great deep house/chill type music and knows how to control audio levels too..
Indeed. Very good editing overall.
Best part of the week when a S2S video drops!! Getting so excited to see the finished EV10 as well as the DeLorean build
Definitely a "drop everything and watch" notification!
@@greatdane3343 oh fo sho!
Bomb diggidy
CONGRATS ON hitting over 100K SUBSCRIBERS. S2S this is insane Design, Engineering, Fabrication and Execution. This will be the talk of SEMA.
This thing is just another level of professional.
Thanks so much! We love ChaChing, but this truck has become our baby!
Ya under sell how amazing this turned out. You boys got skills.
Nice work!
@jerryrigeverything whats the e.t.a on your truck??
@@Lordbignall he’s baby bonding right now!!! I think he said he won’t get any work done on it for a while
Thanks so much! We have to come check out that truck sometime soon!
@@SalvagetoSavage if you're ever in Utah please do.
Awesome Job guys beautiful truck
Watching this from Nairobi KE! It's been great following this build. We are still years away from EVs being mainstream but watching this will slowly build an enthusiast community in Kenya. I appreciate the level of detail! All the best at SEMA.
This whole project has really turned me around on the idea of electric vehicles! You guys knocked it out of the park!! I've loved every video of the series too, you would think you've been doing CZcams videos forever!
Glad you enjoyed it! We were pretty hesitant when we started the project. But Timmy kept pushing us toward EV and man are we glad he did!
@@SalvagetoSavage Will you be doing a cost break down? Would be interesting to see what this swap costs vs a typical swap.
@@SalvagetoSavage I'm glad you did! I have been keeping up with this and now the Delorean project between phone calls at work selling parts and I've brought you up a few times to people hesitant that EV stuff can be cool!
@Al Pha The e-waste era we are entering is going to be insane..
Can not do less than 2nd Douglas‘ comment. While it was not necessarily turning me around (I am all over EV conversion), but you did indeed blew it out of the water plus your style of video making is awesome. I do appreciate the openness and the length as well, since your videos are not 30-40mins behemoths!
I absolutely love the upbeat tempo you guys have in the shop. I love that there's no drama, everyone works well together, and you guys accomplish a lot in one video. I absolutely love that you guys left in the edited cuss word, boss man cracks me up. I'm so proud of you guys and the work that you're doing. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Jed! I am over the moon with my team and how much passion they all have for what were doing. hope we can keep up the level of builds and blow your minds even further
@@michaelrolleri4559 thanks for the reply, I look forward to your videos every week.
I’m impressed with the quality of the production as a first time effort.
I’d love to see this thing enter the spectator drags at the Freedom Factory 👀
Thank you! We’d love to rip this thing on the track! That’s the plan when it’s all done
I'm happy someone is giving love to CZcams. This takes me back to when Discovery had building shows like this and even MTV Pimp my ride.
This is definitely the most unique and creative square body I've ever seen. Hands down ace in the whole out of the park. Badass guys great work
The infinity light is a very nice touch!!!
Fellow combat vet. Love the theme of the truck. Hell, love everything about it! Good work fellas.
Some crazy accessories, details, gadgets on this build, sci-fi C10 is how I see it
This is the only channel i have notifications on for. Awesome work guys!
Same
Keep tuning in and we’ll keep making sure that notification pops off every week!
My daily driver is a 1991 Bronco. Absolutely love it. You’ve inspired me to look at an EV conversion once my powertrain finally gives out. Thank you for the weekly content!
I fr would love to see an electric bronco someday
I would love to see an interview style video with all of you on your hypothesis on the performance of the truck before and after you drive it for the first time. As well as hearing you all tell a story about the build. I think it would be fascinating. This has far exceeded my expectations on what I thought this build would have become from when it showed up in my feed. Well Done and thank you kindly
We’ll definitely do something like this as a build recap once it’s all done!
I've seen a lot of dope ass builds in my short time but this one is by far the best, maybe it's the EE in me but from the whole tesla swap into a c10 to the infinity mirror in the telgate is just beyond amazing. 👏
This truck is one fabrication masterpiece, I can't wait to see what delorean build looks like
That taillight setup is awesome. EV’s on paper are very practical but in real life just feel like an appliance. This EV truck has a been given a soul because your team has poured theirs into it. Can’t wait to see what else y’all come up with.
This is easily one of the absolute best car building channel on CZcams. I love the pace of the build and see all the awesome fabrication you do. Congrats to 100 k!
Couldn’t have done it without you! Thanks for tuning in!
This type of work is a dream for me, as a 25 year machinist & pipe welder, I'd LOVE to be involved in something as fun and exciting as this project. Great work and I absolutely love the look of this thing. Props to the entire crew.
Thanks so much for the support! This project definitely challenged both our design skills and creativity. We're so stoked you like the build and we hope you like some of the other stuff we have going on at the shop too!
Imagine rolling up on that truck with your high beams on with that mirrored tail gate! I love it!
For sure all the little things add up to complete the package. The display with the truck… just icing on the cake!
This is the absolute best adventure I’ve ever gotten the honor to be “a part of.” That thin is going to be a ripper!!
Can’t wait to see at SEMA. Glad you guys entered it into Battle Of The Builders.
God I love this concept! Its so beyond the cookie cutter rides out there. You guys may not have been the first to do a Tesla swap, but I believe you set the standard/bar. Really, really impressive. Great job guys!
@Chad Smith you're 100% definitely set the standard/bar for any other EV build
Thanks Chad. not the first to do a swap but the first to do 2 large drive units and the first to use the complete OEM model 3 battery pack.
The THOUSANDS of Hours that have gone into this Truck is just mind-boggling, and an Extroadinary amount of very expensive parts. this machine looks Awsome, AND one of a kind.
But we already made our business cards! lol
This build is fantastic. Love seeing stuff done properly. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for watching!
*_I can't wait to see this at SEMA. This will change the old school trucking game for sure. I also plan to do this to my pickup in the near future._*
We’re gonna be sitting at the Toyo tire booth!
You see the work you guys put out, the subscribers will come. This is some of the cleanest fab ive ever seen, such a great mix of technology and pure skill.
Reusing that packaging is great. As car shop owners you have first hand experience with how much waste goes into packaging. Same thing with computer power cables taking up a good bulk of e-waste.
Quality engineering and cool ideas - I’m hooked. As an Englishman, I typically find some US channels a bit dramatised but you guys are sound car guys 🤙🏼
So glad to hear it! We try to keep on with the building and not too much on the BS!
I really like that y'all were able to incorporate the regenerative braking in on this truck! And after SEMA, I'm going to need you to do a complete performance run down video. 0-60 time, 1/4 mile and even total range. That's what I've been waiting for this entire series, please make it happen!!
Believe us when we say, that's what we've been waiting on too! We're going to be ripping this truck as hard as we can once we work out the kinks!
@@SalvagetoSavage That's awesome!! I can't wait!!
You guys are doing an amazing job.. I wish you would build a classic corvette ‘67 or 80’s .. 😌🙌🏼
Oh man now I wanna see them build a killer c3 elktromod awd swap with irs. 😁
This truck turns out to be a more and more amazingly cool vehicle. Cant wait for the carbon fiber fenders, then you have a legend in the making..
Look forward to seeing you guys at Sema and Holley high voltage. Really enjoyed watching these videos and your work and incorporation of tech tools (3d scanning, cnc plasma cutting, cad design), composite work, and of course the incorporation of EV drivetrain and component into your build. You have combined all the wax on/wax off skills into a full karate build.
the attention to detail and water jet work is next level, keep up the good work
Love the channel and I can’t get enough of this project. Great job guys can’t wait to see it in person at SEMA
Thank you guys!! You are all great and looking forward for more content!! DeLorean next!
So glad youtube recommended this channel to me, just awesome builds and great people having fun
Hope you guys have a great time at sema 🙌
Welcome aboard! Stoked that you like the content!
i just love the s2sla badge, cant wait to get a shirt, looks great
Such a sick build. Can't wait to see it after those parts for the inverters come in!!
We're going to rip the fattest burnouts!
Awesome build. Really clean! Great to see some classic cars getting the EV upgrade!
That infinity light box is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
I don't even know where to begin!?... It's just STELLAR!!!! The WHOLE BUILD!.. I mean LOOK at that thing!!!? But the "Infinity Box" is just EXTRAORDINARY! That looks SO GOOD! What an awesome little touch to set the whole thing off... WOW! Just WoW... i love it. Excellent job fellas.
Love your builds and artistry
I just cannot express how much I am enjoying watching the build of this truck. This is so cool! You folks are on the cutting edge of the future of Hot Rodding.
Thanks so much for the support! We should have even more content coming out for it shortly too!
Great you hit 100k subscribers, love your builds because it's all creation by the team. It's the best channel we're you can see the creative mind at work . Great work
I love electric vehicles, and this is a beauty. This makes me want to build another truck.
It is amazing how you all built this truck it was truly enjoyable to watch the entire series thank you
We couldn't keep doing it without people like you! Thanks for watching!
One of the best innovative builds in a long time . You will be well received at SEMA
Loving the build!!! Cant wait to see more on the delorean too!! I feel like we get a ton of progress in one video which is refreshing for youtube .
We're going to put out that episode as soon as we can!
So good seeing it all come together.. This and JerryRig's project are the best things on CZcams at the moment 👍
That EV bummer is crazy!
Nice work, I enjoyed the process. You guys are very talented!
Thank you!
The rear lights got me feeling some kinda way! Hopefully after sema yall get more than a million followers . Humble an awesome crew is cool too me.
First comment, comes from Brazil!
Custom hot rods and show cars are not my cup of tea, but I appreciate the imagination and craftsmanship you put into your projects. It's also great the way you respond to your viewers' unsolicited criticism and advice.
Lol, yah there’s a lot of advice coming to us now a days. 🤔
Good luck at SEMA dudes… cant wait to see the final reveal of the truck. You guys did some amazing work. Elon Musk would be proud lol
Best custom EV build I have seen. Hope to see it one day!
These guys / this shop are on the next level! I wish I could afford to commission a car restomod from them...
We appreciate the compliment! And who knows, we might just be able to work on your build one day!
So many cool touches to this truck. The tailgate is badass👍
I can't WAIT to see this burnout!!! Beautiful Build Y'all!!!
Your guys are truly--true crafts-men! The imagination and pure energy of creating a one of kind custom Electric truck is awe inspiring for sure! Ever since day one, I've been glued to your channel following you all every step of the way simply amazing. Thank you guys for sharing! I appreciate your content so much!
Favorite show on Wednesdays! I always wait with anticipation. This thing turned out sick now I can't wait to see the Delorean. Great work boys.
The truck goes way beyond what I could of imagined. My hat off to you all. Have safe trip. Been watching few SEMA builds. By far the best build videos.
the truck looks amazing!! 🛻💨💚
it must be noted that even drews bun is stressed out in this episode! 😂😂
That's how you know we're at peak stress! lol
It just gets better! love this build!
Love the build
This isn't just a truck, it's a work of art. Watching this get built and take shape to this point has been fantastic.
This is sick can't wait to see it rip
I swear, every video gets better! That’s easily my favorite truck I’ve ever seen. I’ve wanted to make infinity lights forever!
Awesome, can’t wait to see it at sema
It's looking nice
Who better to give an electric truck the thumbs up approval?
LOL!
The Mad Titan of battery hoarding.....Mista Gar-see'ya at the gas pumps....as he drives by!
Geez....sorry! Insomnia plus dad jokage equals diarrhea of the mouth!
Wow guys! Unbelievable talent. No bs shop drama or fluff content. Showcasing your skills and how well the team works together along with collaboration with other creative dudes. Congrats on 100k subs. Looks like you are about to gain another 10k today!
Keep with the theme of your content and you’ll be at 200k before the end of the year! Your tig fab skills are dope!
Keep up the good work, good luck at SEMA! Wish I could be there
Really neat work guys. Nice stuff.
Thank you!
I only found your channel because of this build (as I'm sure is true for many many many other people), but I had no idea it was your first full build series on CZcams! You guys are incredibly skilled fabricators, but you're also very good on camera. I absolutely love the amount of detail you've gotten into in your videos. Stoked to see more of the S2SLA, the DeLorean and whatever else you do in the future
More EV Builds Please!.....Awesome to see a legit hotrod shop build a real hotrod EV, not just a conversion.....Nice job Guys!
Thank you!! We definitely got more coming for y’all
The adversity that you guys overcame with this build is insane to think about. Thank you for this video series, and have a fucking blast at SEMA. It has been a dream of mine to go to this show for many many years. I will make it there one day! I look forward to looking at the show through your lens.
Thanks so much for the support! We’ll keep putting out videos if you keep tuning in. Hopefully we’ll be back at the show whenever you’re able to make it out!
Canada here...sick front fenders, brake is "fancy" lol... great project... I'm sure we will see more blended vehicles...as well, vids like this will be key...as we run out of gas...(another story)... keep turning that wrench...playas...one love
The fenders will look even better with the widebody kit on it at SEMA!
I hear that! My 89 crx is 4" wider rear and 3" front... sitting nice right...enjoy brother!
the 'hermetically sealed' bag is an anti-static material, and basically everyone has too many of them kicking around so they get reused a lot for shipping. keeps the PCB safe against the packing material jostling around and getting all zappy
Thank you!
Good luck at SEMA. Looking forward to seeing the completed project when you get back. Thank you for the awesome build and meticulous videography. Really enjoying watching your content.
Thanks for the support! We wanted to be ripping burnouts for y’all before we got out west, but we want to do a whole bunch of performance content for you guys and we wouldn’t be able to do that with a blown battery!
So soooooo good! Would love to get to SEMA one day, but it's a long way from 'Straya 🇦🇺
Can't wait to see this thing finished up and shredding some tyres!
Absolutely KILLED it, guyz! 💯 yall should be SUPER PROUD of yourselves!!!!
Damn.. those tail gate lights are dope.. awesome build. I think we can all say we wish we had the resources to do something like this to our own c10s
Thanks so much for the support! We're stoked you like the build. We got a couple updates that are a bit more recent from this build too!
Man this build is truly next level and gives me tons of motivation to build something crazy..still waiting to see y'all on discovery channel
Lol, we shall see. Thank you James
I m so happy to can help in this project … with wrap some pieces by Mimessi auto design… it s amazing!!!!
Y’all killed this build!!!! I hate electric vehicles n love squarebodies would cruise everyday in this thing. Beautifully done
Glad we can turn you to the dark side!
This was a hell of a first full youtube build.. of the quality of videos and builds stay the same or get better with tinlme.. I will definitely keep watching, liking, and commenting!!
S2SLA is too sexy🤙🏿
I really hate people who this dislike these videos, look how much hard work they are putting into this build.
We can’t please everyone! But we love all the support we’re getting. Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it!
I love when they thank US, I am like, no bro, Thank You!!! You guys are awesome.
I cant wait to see this fully assembled!
You guys are killing it I can only imagine how busy you're booth is going to be at SEMA. Can't wait for the SEMA content and the delorian
It's a radical build which does a great job of showing your ambition, enthusiasm, skills and attention to detail to throw a modern twist on a great American classic. I love how you get after everything that comes up (like the hand brake). Inspired. Thank you. 👏🙏
Great news on the subs! This truck is turning out amazing, but that was a given that it would be. Can't wait to see it finished. Good luck with SEMA.
all this project is sick!! congrats to all of you, the back LEDs look awasome!
Thank you!
Super happy with how the truck came out! Yall produced a hell of a product and production videos. Keep up the great work
That tail gate light. Damn. Awesome guys!!
I've seen almost every build show or bio created. I'm a super gear head and have to say you guys are a rare breed the overall skill set by all. You guys are freaking Rock Stars and I look forward to seeing everything your willing to show . Like build stuff nothing weird lol
