Can you please post a better picture of that battery mount?
 I have been looking at that one also, how did you attach it to the car?

It looks sweet :cooldancing:

Some pics of the battery mount. Somethings wrong with the lens on the camera. I used chrome button head,hex head fastners from ACE hardware.They have liitle drawers with cool chrome stuff. It's just something nicer. The mount is a Billet specialties.I looked for awhile.It fit real nice.Simple.Effective.That's a new battery tray.Had some extra tool drawer liner for the pad.   Got a few small things done in the 2 hrs. I had. The driveshaft had to be shortened an inch,Then it hit the old exhaust crossover.Had to lower it all again and message it. :horse: I think if we get a few small things.Tomarow We'll start it up!!! :woohoo: Got shot down on the carb. Needs something more for the street.Gonna' toss on the old AVS to run her first.Thinkn' Holley street avenger.My mind is drifting to the alignment and fine tuning.  :bigsmile:   Then... :burnout:   These last few days have been some of the best of my life. Thanks,Robert.

Looking great, I'm running the 770cfm Avenger on mine.  Seems like a good carb, idles clean down to 750 in gear(auto), probably go lower with some fine tuning but for now I haven't been idling much.LOL

Thanks for the update very cool I would go with a 750 street deemon  :2cents: Its a better holley IMO


What kind of camera are you using? does the lens have an auto\manual focus button maybe its in the wrong spot?  :dunno: low light and a slow shutter will give you fits also.
