my newest big bad idea

Please don't burn me at the stake just yet.

After years of looking at the packard plant, I have had another bad idea that just might work. I am thinking of building a clone of a (probably)1930's packard 120. The plan is to use the original dimensions, body design and interior style but recreate them using all lightweight modern materials. The reason is to created the most overstated electric car possible.

I suppose some questions are in order.

can it be done?
can it be done at home?
am I guano loco? (yes)
would it be worth making this monster a convertable?
does anyone have or know someone who has a 30's packard near detroit that might let me make molds of body pannels?
