Here I am asking for some advice again, this time it is about where to mount my battery. I thought the easy answer was to mount it in the trunk and I already purchased a basic relocation kit from Summit. However, as I look at the box sitting in the trunk I hate the way it looks. Despite the car being about 16 1/2 feet long it has a small trunk and I would like to keep the trunk useful. My new idea is to mount it under the front fender on the passenger side. The car is endowed with big, fat, long fenders and there is plenty of room. Has anyone ever heard of such a plan or seen this done? Am I overlooking some obvious concern? I am pretty confident that if ever needed to jump the car I could access the battery by turning the wheel. Of course I would have to fabricate some kind of panel to keep it from getting covered in road grime.

Is this a good idea or a horribly bad idea?
