Converting to electric drive

Anybody here done it? That is, removing the engine, radiator, exhaust system, fuel tank, etc. and installing an electric drive motor and battery packs. If so, please post your experiences. With the cost of fossil fuel reaching all-time highs, such a conversion is becoming very tempting, especially when one realizes that almost all of their driving is local and short distance.

And here's a few more for good measure:
