Been done; looks great; why not. Austin Richards put TWO 20kva coils on 
top of a cube truck with a 75 kw genie in tow and drove around during
Burning Man in Nevada a couple years in a row. He created an artificial 
ground plane up top with poulrty fabric and I believe was
dragging some chain beneath the vehicle to keep from RF lifting the 
truck too much..ya know.. if people lean on it while you're running.
