Thanks Al.. Here are some battery box mods. I sunk the battery as low as I could in the trunk. I wasnt happy with any battery holdowns that I saw ,so I made my own from some aluminum.

I proceeded to remove the drip rails on the car. Since the the pinch weld was gonna be cut off too, I cut the drip rail in 2 inch sections putting a tack weld between each. Then I cutoff all the remaining drip rails. This way I have no suprise when the drip rail is cut off.I left it unfinished for now as I want to weld everthing together fully when the car is upside down on the rotiserie, I try to avoid upside down welding whenever possible.

I modified a 68 Chrysler imperial power trunk latch assembly to fit the cuda.This will be operated from the dash with a hidden switch , I welded up the trunk lock on the tail panel for a cleaner look

Great build! its hard to not like Mopar's especially when there is a lot of custom fab work.

This is a great build, I like what you have done so far.

Skilled fabrication. Keep it up!:thumbsup:

About your trunk opener, sence your battery is in the trunk you'll build some me hanical opener also?

Yeah, I am thinking about adding a lever rod under the car, I also plan on having the battery terminals offset to the underside of the car just in case the battery goes dead, this way I can charge the battery without opening the trunk
