Hell i'd rather start with an abandoned 30's Packard than scratch, especially working with hand tools.
Make it a hybrid, get some kind of diesel 4 cyl motor hooked to a generator, to a bank of batteries, then to the electric motor.
You'll need tons of batteries, most efficient per pound would be putting a ton of laptop batteries in a bank.
Then you need a control system to decide if you need the charging generator running or not.
This seems like a lot of work
