This week, we’re plugging away on this 1985 Chevy C10 Tesla Swap build. We’re finishing up our IFS system and getting it mounted on our custom built chassis table along with our Tesla IRS. There wasn’t too much fabrication that went in to the rear suspension, since we’re keeping the stock Tesla set up, but there is a fair amount of measuring to make sure that it’s lined up correctly on the chassis table with our front sub frame assembly. Tim also got a little too excited and decided to hoist the battery up and drop in on our chassis table! This build is moving along quick! Next week we’ll be able to fab up the rest of our chassis and get the cab mounted on!
