Well, now there is a thought! Since about the only modern creature
comforts these cars have is at best a soft top and radio and maybe just
maybe a clock, then it would make a good transitional car. But make sur
eit is a rust free one cause all them batteries are really heavy! Or
maybe you could make or find a really large capacitor and use that for
the energy storage.....just do not get too close, lol... I have zero
skills in something like this but couldn't one start with a defunct
electric golf cart for the electronics?
