OKAY...OKay...okay....I know what you're thinking ....

Back on page one where I laid out the details of the plan, the owner had asked for 2017 Ignition Orange.....so why the black epoxy primer ??? :drunk:

Well about a week or so ago...the owner's wife got wind of the project....and she DID NOT approve of the orange idea and insisted it be painted black...

So the new plan is 2019 PX8 PITCH BLACK 8)  That will make it a quadruple black car....Body/Vinyl top/Interior and stripes.... :drooling:

Neil's Autobody did a great job with the coverage of the epoxy primer... :bigthumb:

You never thought to do the driver's side orange and the passenger's side black?  :D

Customer wanted a "kill switch" So I ordered this one from Summit... Plan on putting the battery right behind it, close to the seat braces....

Tried out my "fabrication" skills to....I made my own mounting bracket  :clapping: :haha:

As part of the "mock-up" phase, I got the battery where I wanted, cut and made the cables to fit and welded a nice 3/8" ground stud to the frame. Gas tank and fuel lines will be next...

Are you gonna make a hatch so you can get to the pump from inside the trunk?

Why drill a hole through the trunk floor and then pass the wire through to the underside of the car?  You could just bolt it to the trunk floor. You are still electrically grounding to the same piece of structure.  :dunno:

You're absolutely correct  :worship:
I just thought the "FRAME" would be better then the flimsy floor panel, but I agree, it likely didn't make a difference. I also want to incorporate a rubber grommet around the hole, which is just added work. I could also be able to use that ground stud for the fuel sender and the fuel pump.  :dunno:

This is my first attempt at re-locating a battery  :drunk:

I'm watching everything you are doing on this build.  Going to be doing almost everything you are doing.  Only at a much slower pace!

With the battery in the trunk where you have placed it will a spare tire still fit?

Already discussed this with the car's owner...He feels he doesn't want or need a spare tire, or a bumper jack  :dunno: Feels these "details" have no place in a resto-mod ...I think there would be room for a collapsible spare mounted in the rearward position...but, that's something you would never use either, so what's the point ?
