True.

Back at it.

My original plan was to tie the 2 10/2's to the Tek cable under a drawer...no dice...had to extend the 10/2's up and over...much cursing...yes, the OEM wires will be secured.









Got the angles cut and sandblasted for the batteries:



Painted up 1st coat.



Back to removing the rest of the tray:



New angles in:



Mocking up plate that will mount the bus bars etc.



Placing the batteries:




Welding underside of eye hook for securing the batteries:



1/2'' polyurethane for spacers between the batteries:





Eye hooks....will be using turnbuckles to secure them:

Thickwall heatshrink to make sure there are no disasters should it come loose or when working on them:



1'' x 2'' bar....heatshrink is big ass stuff.



Rust removed:





Plate painted up:



Copper busses about to be tin plated to resist oxidation:



Nasty shit:

A lot of work! That's a beautiful truck frame underneath those angles.

Good times to come...
