Yeah that would be neat, a series motor and all.

I have actually seen the rear half of a series cut off and made into a
trailer.

The ultimate would be to hack of the rear of a series, and connect the
transmission via the power take off after the fashion of the power trailers
on the 101's twoud be almost a gamma goat
