If you look at it, they butcher the chassis, bobbing it at the rear torsion bar housing and replacing the motor mounts. But it looks like the batteries are placed under the floorpan, with the rockers panels lower by 3-4". Without lowering the front and rear valances, it throws the proportions all off.

If they butchered the floorpan and raise the batteries up under the seats it would be an improvement.

New Type II bodies are available at $17,000. A good foundation for an EV conversion.
