[QUOTE="BayouCajun, post: 333617, member: 12977"] I will be watching your build, I am running into some of the same issues (batteries…and what to do with them)… Let me share a personal battery experience. I had a battery in a 74' Monte Carlo, with a cracked post explode while my hand was holding a combo wrench over the battery, the explosion blew out a hole in the side of the battery, I was looking over the open hood at the person sitting in the drivers seat…saved my eyes…somewhat… I thought I had lost my hand…couldn't feel anything, couldn't see anything because my eyes were burning really bad…almost as bad as my chest… Then the service station owner came out and was freaking out, while I calmly was screaming at him to hose me off with some water :twisted: and asking if my hand was still there... [-o< …it was…eyes still bother me…this was back in '79. Batteries are bombs…just like space shuttle tanks….with unreliable timers. I haven't tied my batteries or my dual bank charger down yet…and similar to you is rod storage, thinking about punching holes in forward bulkhead and insert pvc tubes, but then that interferes with battery box… an adjustable plan… Love what you are doing.
