I drove for decades with a 40/60 weight distribution. After battery location, you can fine tune the handling with tire size and inflation pressure. Higher pressure on the heavy end.
'Meanwell' is the best brand name I've seen since 'Dunn-Wright'.

They are a reputable brand and would be one of my first choices if I were building a robotics system or an industrial machine.
Pity about the name.
I have used several of their products an have not had a problem.

Nice work!
Very interested in your fuel line work as my fuel lines are rusted out in the back and I need to re-run at least one line. What is your plan?

I ordered a 1.75" / 45mm ID fuel hose from Rock Auto - it was surprisingly hard to find one that big. I cut up the original fuel lines to reuse the elbows, and used sections of both to route it closer to the wall of the car. I'll post pics in a bit.

As requested:
I cut a hole in the car in a different location, and plan to stuff the area around the hoses with duct sealant putty.
First rear panel finished!

Dear lord, it looks like I may be the one needing help on my "finished" k-swap!
This could be worth tackling when I install my walborro 255. definitely cleans up the back
