Plastic battery boxes wouldn't do me any good. The batteries are an odd size, and they don't have any level place to sit.

This requires a custom solution.

Fortunately, three workers with welders, Sawsalls, a portable bandsaw, and all materials needed showed up!

A forth guy, who was interested in EV 's, stopped by to see what we were doing.

Read more about what we did over in my Electro-Metro thread.
