Nice build,and 200 miles range would be plenty for my daily driving.
Too bad ev conversion is beyond my knowledge.

Fwiw
Jerryrigeverything chanel builds military Humvee to EV conversion. Very complicated

I would prefer an older model from the 1960s or early 1970s if going classic.

Very cool restomod build using Ford's electric crate motor. Too bad Ford doesn't supply everything else needed to make it work- the battery, inverter and other electronics.

I'm not feeling it. Now if it had a 460 4V engine I would be interested.

Or a 428!
And a hopped up Ecoboost /10 speed would be over the top!
I do love the big retro/repro steelies on it, though!
I’m really on the fence on blowing a lot of money on 20” solid white steelies wrapped with 35” BFGs or red letter Generals for the 86 K20 I just painted….
I got OE hubcaps ready to roll for it.
