Glad you are enjoying the thread Justin.
I use it as a record for what I get up to as well, and often just chuckle when I look back.
Fetched my stick welder back from Mickey next door who has had it at least three months. I think he forgets.
Cut, measured, cut some more and prepped a bunch of bits, then welded it all together up to a point.
I decided to make my battery top clamp horizontal, rather than vertical. Also to run threaded bar with nuts both ends, and hopefully if I can get a metal sheath, I will cover the threaded bar over.
On the way to work today I popped into a specialist nuts, screws etc shop and bought four domed head bolts to,fit the battery tray onto the chassis with, under the cab.
Loads of photos can probably say it all.
I wanted to try retain my top terminal battery, rather than buy the sexy side terminal model Ian had bought.

Diagonal side view.
Without battery, which is a large size 70a/h model.
Finished off by packing away everything and then painting the first coat of Hammerite.
Next coat 06.00
