The bug is getting painted. Wait till you see it.
In the mean time I have built up a "144 volt traction pack training ground", which is a bunch of work-scrap-bin switching power supplies in series. 12 X 12v cascaded to provide 144v. This can give me some practice with working with high DC voltages (rubber gloves, take off wedding ring, etc.). Also I can start to power up some of my electrical components to make sure I understand how to wire them up. It would be a real bummer to build up the whole car and "turn it on", and discover I need to re-wire a bunch of stuff.
