<VV> Converting a Corvair to electric viable?

[Bryan Blackwell]

I'll disagree with the naysayers - but you have to define your  
goals.  I think a "city car" could be relatively doable, especially  
with the controllers and motors becoming more reasonably priced.  The  
Chevy Volt motor would be especially useful, and it would still be a  
Chevy :-)  A Corvair is really a pretty good platform for the project  
since it's fairly light.  As long as one of your goals is to have fun  
it should work out well.
