BATTERY TRAY -

The original battery tray and the electronics panel were completely rusted and the battery was going to fall through at any time.

While I was recuperating from surgery and bored out of my mind, I decided to make a new one.

I used 1.5" angle iron for the frame and a piece of aluminum diamond plate for the bottom. I welded the tray directly to the frame and spent a long time smoothing out the welds with a grinder because apparently I can't weld worth a crap with my left hand.
