Links for evaluating your vehicle & more

In many (most) cases, knowing specific information about the vehicle you
wish to convert or mod is necessary. here are some helpful links to useful
information about your car's weight, wheel base (wb), wheel distance (wd),
gross weight(gw), standard engines, bodies, and more.
You can't very well follow the DYI for conversion if you can't find your GW
to calculate for batteries, can you?
