Motor installed, front battery rack complete

While it is true that returning to my 9-5 job has slowed E-Rex production a bit there is still lots of progress being made. The electric motor went in even more smoothly than the ICE came out.

In the interest of getting the car on the road sooner I opted to create a battery rack instead of an enclosed box for the five batteries that will reside between the front grill and the motor. The down side is that I will not be able to control the temperature of those batteries. This is not as good in the cold winter months that are fast approaching. Hopefully I'll have time to upgrade it to a box before the real cold hits.

Ahhh, home at last!

Battery rack or modern art? You decide.
