Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

HOLY CRAP!!! Jeez, Ken, those are scary. I clicked on this thread and it scared me for a moment...

Anyway, thanks guys, for the info on the batteries. I'm thinking of mounting one of the little ones inside, against the firewall on the passenger side under a false floor. The cables would only be about 18 inches long then. The alternative is to mount it similar to Don's on the right rear frame kickup. The cables would be about 4 1/2 feet then.

Well Ken, I now have less to use in my "library", I was saving those for the "right" time to spring on Pops. You must be somewhere in the same email loop I'm in! But hey, the more the merrier!

Ken!!! I thought we were FRIENDS????

Those pictures remind me of a photograph that I had in the '60's, I bought it from a buddy because it was so funny. It was undoubtedly the ugliest girl(I think it was a girl ?) that you have ever seen, and it looked like a normal photograph. It was always good for a laugh. I would be at some club or bar and the subject of girlfriends would come up and I would whip out this photo and tell the stranger "here's a picture of my girlfriend." I would act dead serious, and it was priceless to see the reaction on the guys face. He didn't want to be rude , yet you could see him ready to crack up at any second.

It worked best when you acted all serious and went on about how she was the love of your life. Sometimes a buddy who was in the know would play along and act like she was really something special.

I was robbed at gunpoint in Pittsburgh after that and the robbers got my wallet and I lost the picture. Bet they had a good laugh when they went through my wallet and found that picture.

Ken, Now I'm scared! Those women are hitious! Uncle Bob, the little red one's ok, but not any of Ken's recent beauties! I just woke up, turned on the computer, hit the club hot rod email link, and nearly spit my morning coffee out! New definitions for Coyote Ugly. Very cruel! Is it April fools?
Don, on the truck I'm guessing I'm looking at maybe 4-6ft cables to relocate in the bed, or behind the seat! I bought a beefy battery based on the distance and big engine. It has something like 770 CCA at zero F, and 1000 CCA @32F. I figure more power the better, with long cables!

Yeah, if you have room for a bigger battery Steve it will be better in the long run. If this tiny one hadn't been available I would have really been scrambling to find something to fit........I had almost zero room for the battery.

They all get prettier at closing time.

Let's start breakfast all over! He we go........

I mounted mine horizontal under the dash in my truck next to the fuse panel so I didn't oose any interior room. My cable came out to almost 3' on the money.
