Battery Box - 12/2010

One of the next big projects to come after installing the engine was beginning the car wiring. In order to do that, Jim had to install the battery box. The Factory Five kit intends you to simply put the battery in the trunk of the car, using up much-needed trunk space. Jim and I decided to mount the box underneath the trunk using a special box that he ordered which enabled us to do that.

Because Jim had to file the hole down a bit in order to fit the battery box inside which took off a bit of the powder-coating, he painted the outside edge.
