1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

before you get the drill out you might want to re-think how far the battery box is under the rear fender. Tucked that far under could make it extremely difficult to install / remove the battery.........been there.
Thanks, Yeah I have thought about that. I will have to put the battery in the box then run the threaded rod after it is in place. Even though it may take a few minutes extra to remove if needed, I still like the location.
