Re: Ratty or clever Battery box ideas
Not sure if will fit on a TF but I have put in the right fender well behind the tire on my '46 and also my '54 when I had it. Over 100K miles with no issues.

I saw a ratrod with a vintage metal Coke cooler used as battery box in the bed.

On my 57 I built my own battery holder and mounted it to the frame behind passenger side door step.
