I like that little battery, Dave! Even though it'll be a while before I need one, :CRY: I've been thinking about where I'll put it on my 37. I purchased a box & long cable to mount it in the trunk quite a while ago, but the more I think about it, I think I might buy/build a nice metal/aluminum box and mount this little battery on the frame rail up under the passenger front fender. There's plenty of room & tire clearance plus it would be closer for the cables, etc. I've seen some drop-down boxes for regular size batteries, but if I use one of these, it wouldn't need to be so big.
I found a "new" trunk lid the other day on fordbarn.com, thanks to Bobby, :) and it should be on it's way soon. If it is a good as it looks in the pics, it will save me a ton of time and money! I've also decided to try to find a better driver's side door for the same reason. You may remember the issues with my existing one posted a few pages back.:eek:
I bolted on the rear fenders to make sure they still fit after the welding patches & gas filler and I'm pretty pleased thus far. Time for a little skim coat of filler in a few places and move along. Yes, I know, Mike......pics! :D
