  1. Sure, it can be done.  Here's a discussion list for EVs.

    I've thought about converting an F-body.  This isn't like an airplane model kit you just glue together.  You have to think about it, and make some design decisions.  

    Also the 4th gen F-body's are a bit heavy.  You might want to consider a 3rd-gen F because they are lighter weight cars which had heavier engines.

    Edit: F-bodies have plenty of room for batteries.  

    * The engine bay in a 4th gen is HUGE.

    * Where the gas tank was.

    * The rear cargo area.

    * Dead space inside the rear fenders.  

    * Under the rear seats.

    You'll probably exceed the weight limits before you run out of space for batteries.  Remember you want to shift weight back if you can.


  2. It's not worth it.  Don't bother.

    You will need a lot more than just a set of instructions.

  3. eh, not a good choice...you're room for batteries a seriously limited.
