The way I would do it, that would be making a lot of extra work, because every car would be a different mess.

By sticking to one model, I would just have one jig to weld up frames and battery carriers on. Every one would be exactly the same and interchangeable. Use the same components in every vehicle.

I could have a whole system ready to go before the car even came into the shop. Roll the car in, gut it, bolt stuff in, and be done in a few days. No measuring, no adapting, no messing around with found junk.
