I think it helps a lot if you build around the motor instead of trying to
squeeze a motor inside an existing body. For my car, I first built the
front bumper and lights, and then built the chassis of the car. I built
the body on top of the chassis. I was afraid I wasn't going to have room
for the seats, but with some creative hingework, they fit.

Steering would be the most difficult part. I don't think it would be too
hard to just motorize the rear wheels with a micromotor. When I get
another micromotor (soon, hopefully), I'll have to try that. Or maybe
I'll just get impatient and rip the micromotor out of it's spot in the
"muscle car" :)
