Hi Shane,

Sorry I haven't been able to get in touch with you, we have been phone tagging for a week then I got busy.

Heres a battery box that I have been working on. My neighbor growing up had this Army Jeep that was from the Korean war era. It had this cool box on the side that he said was to hold morter crates. It had this cool swing out hold down on it and I remember studying it for hours. I was 12 at the time and wondered what it would take to make one. It was the inspiration for this. A battery box.

So with a flat piece of 18 gauge, 1/4" OD tubing, 3/16" stainless rod, cool dies and an accurate brake I came up with this.

3 piece a, scratch built hinge. Not done yet, have some tig welding and sanding to do. Oh and a stud hold down.
