Default Hybridfest 2008-Do you want some mods done at the fest

Well, after talking to Eric Powers about doing some engine block heater installs at Hybridfest, the answer is yes. And not only will engine block heaters be installed, we're going to install a BT strut brace and a BT skid plate. And, if the stars align, we will do the installs INSIDE the exhibit hall. Ahhh, A/C and a smooth clean floor to lay on.

So, the point of all this is some extra enticement to draw you to Hybridfest. If you want your engine block heater, your BT equipment, Coastal lockpic, or perhaps EV switch installed-bring it to Hybrid fest. And bring your camera to record your mod. The Hybridfest mod-shop is now open.

Geez Wayne, I don't think that's a good idea at all!
You'll be totally out of your element, you may get disoriented, confused...there's no telling what hole you'll put that EBH in!

I think you better stick to the 100F gravel driveway just to be safe.

I want:

Fog lights only on mod.

Yuppie button, AKA Aft Photon Torpedoes.

Don't suppose you will be doing those.

OTOH, I will do a search on the fog light mod. IIRC it only involved a diode and moving a couple of wires.

Which species has rear toes? All the ones (Hobbits, Klingons, Hyumons, that chump in Star Trek the Undiscovered Country that the gravity boots didn't fit) I know have toes only on the front of their feet. Sorry the xenopodiatrist will not be able to make it.

Wish I was closer, driving from VT to WI is out of the question right now. It would be great to have some help installing my EBH & BT skid plate (when it arrives) though. And by that I mean someone to do it for me. I recently broke my back in a tractor accident, I won't be doing any crawling under my car for installs any time soon.
