So when i bought this car it was pretty much trashed. Ive spent the past couple weeks cleaning it up and last week i ditched the huge battery, boat battery tie down, and 10lbs of battery cable going to the trunk, and made a new battery relocation with a mini race battery.

The battery is under the hood again so the wiring is significantly shorter, and the battery is out of the way. I found some existing threaded holes in the side of the frame rail that worked perfectly for mounting this battery tray.

Looks nice.
Just be careful with water on the battery long term, do you have the splash shields to reinstall?

I'd like to mount mine closer too, but my short route piping comes out right the battery is sitting, or close to it.

That's bad ass man. That's the same place I got mine. The only downfall is jumpin the car, its a tight squeeze with my MAF in the way, its my fault for not turnin the lights off. Damn cars these days with there auto lights have all us spoiled. Oh and by the way that's THE SICKEST VALVE COVER I've SEEN... U do that yourself??
