Finished Spitfire Conversion!

8/6/2009

Today we held the unveiling of the Spitfire EV in conjunction with the August ASME Happy Hour Meeting.  Several Denver area engineers showed up to check out the EV and ask questions.  We even got grilled by a couple of local electricians too.

Tim took a ride with a local ASME member and the team got a chance to pose with Jim (the Spitfire's owner) and the completed EV
This has been a fun and rewarding project.  We learned a lot about the art of EV conversions over the short summer.  This knowledge will now be used toward completion of our Senior Capstone projects and graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Thanks to:

The University of Colorado Denver's Department of Mechanical Engineering for providing the shop space.

Dr. Ron Rorrer for finding the donor car and encouraging us to take on this project.

Jim Kasic for funding the project and providing the donor car.

Colorado ASME Professional Section for providing the forum for unveiling the car.

KDVR Denver and 2TheDeuce News Stations for helping us get the word out about the great work our students do.

and thanks to the students that made this project possible by coming in on their vacation time to work on a great project.
