I have DXF drawings of most all of the parts we've made, on parts like this I usually cut everything out of wood on one of the CNC's at my cabinet shop first to make sure everything fits before Taylor cuts it. |
I'm doing the same to mine, was going to use wood but seeing this has convinced me to do metal. I do not know how to weld, and do not have any weld connections (that i trust anyways, cept maybe the paint shop i used).
But i can fab aluminum.
I was going to use the corvette rear glove compartments, one for safety equipment, other for the "permanent tools" every car must have. But, i really do like the idea of putting the battery there, however, these cars usually have a 52/48 weight distribution, so keeping it in the trunk area is what i'm going to do. Although, the COG is lower where your mounting it.....
