55.2-59 1958 Saab story

[dsraven]

I assume that since there will need to be a ledge to mount the fender along that string line, and that ledge would likely be welded to the stock saab bodywork that is outboard from there, that you wouldn't really wanna mount stuff in that void outboard of the fender mount. It would make things hard to work on. Is it possible to turn the fuse box a little to line up with the fender mount line? Mount the battery somewhere else or possibly in that void behind the headlights but accessed from the wheel opening?
