I like scientists. They question everything. Make good conversationalists.

I only wish there were more girls like you here.

Then I used some two part epoxy to seal up the edges of the repair and turned him loose at the edge of the woods.

Good going Rick.
I found out the battery pack is like 108V at full charge and would put out 96V at peak current with full throttle or short circuit. So 96V and 700A would be like 67 kW? I'm too tired to do the math.
Had to battle with the front brakes. One bleeder screw was rounded off and could not be moved so I had to take the banjo bolt off to get to the bleeder with a vice grips, then find a spare bleeder from a Willwood caliper that just happened to fit the Brembos, got everything buttoned back up and tried to bleed the system myself. Ended up taking the calipers off and letting the pads touch. I eventually got it to the point that the brakes will "work" but not really stop with any force. Still need more bleeding but it just was not working without the proper bleeding equipment like a proper sized clear tube and water bottle. The pedal stroke was also too short, made worse by the bias bar that meant the foot pedal stroke did not actuate the front brakes since the rear brakes were not hooked up and the bias bar simply pivoted.
Also got to do a few TIG tack welds. It looks like it will be fun to TIG weld but the nice adjustable auto-dark helmets are expensive, as is the welder and equpment. So I will need to use the Cal Poly stuff, but maybe get my own helmet.
I did some other uninteresting, simpler fab stuff as well.
