Default Re: Suspension upgrade Qs for '65 coupe

I havent done it, but do plan on it sometime down the road. (i just think that the engine bay looks cleaner) I guess the only problems I could see with an exposed battery in the trunk would be if you had a gas leak, vapor, and then had a spark. Even with that, if you had it enclosed you have to open the box to attach the cables, so it would be open to any vapors anyway, when the chance of a spark would be greatest I would imagine. I dont think you'll have any problems. Are you going with a metal or plastic box? I've seen a really cool billet battery hold down before, if your into that kinda thing. Anyway, I wouldnt be worried about it, IMO. I cant believe others havent chimed in...
