We have had some help from a friend in Utah who works with EVs. We built the motor to trans. adapter ourselves and have done all the labor ourselves also. We have a friend in HPP who we may hire to paint it. He owns amazing towing (yellow truck). There is still a lot of work to do in it but it is coming together nicely. It is a 95ish mazda pickup. I not sure but as far as I know the brakes that charge your battery are not like one would think, in the wheel like disk brakes, but are more like engine breaks in a truck. It turns your motor into a generator. I'm not sure if our motor is capable of it, but the system is a little more complex and expensive. As for windmills, I've heard of one company that has one on the vehicle that isn't a major help, but it works and is posible.
