Tesla Powered 33 Hot Rod

Hi Brad, Re: Front Grille....................
What do you plan to do for appearance up in the front. Since there won't be a radiator, will you create a different 'look' for the front and eliminate the grille? It could be the same shape as the current piece but closed off across the face. Might look rather bold.
Best wishes,
Tom

Hi Tom..

It will still have a small radiator actually. The Tesla motor needs cooling for the inverter and gearbox. I was hoping to be able to fit it in the back near the motor but there's not enough room. I'm also planning to have vent openings through the battery box that will rely on air coming through the rest of the grille.

OOOPS, I forgot. Even my grandson's RC boat has a water cooled electric motor!
