Battery box assembled
My parents were in town for the weekend so I got Dad to help me assemble the rear battery box. It will fit in the fuel tank void and clears the suspension components. I have about an inch extra width than I need so I may trim up some pieces and reassemble. It would provide additional buffer to the rear axle and reduce the weight by a small amount.
I may also go to a angle-iron tray as things progress. I like the idea of wood because it’s completely enclosed except the top. Dad had a good point about the wood being exposed to water so I’ll need to paint it something fancy in case I ever run somebody over and they get stuck down there. My habit whenever a pedestrian was in the way previously was to rev the engine so they’d hear me, I can’t do that anymore. Maybe I can modify my flux capacitor to shoot a bolt of lightning at them or something, just a little jolt to move them along.
