I don't think i posted this pic yet of my DuraSpark system panel that i put together last fall before winter hit(sorry i did post it before...that shows how damn long ive been workin on this car cuz i can't even remember what is done or not ;D ....My car is going to be into it's 3rd year of building !! That is unheard of for me...lol If i don't smash it up this year, i might as well put it up for a prize on wecrashtoo! I guess when you are working 350 days of the year, you don't get much time to play...but this year i will play, or get fired because I WILL BE RUNNING 2012 DERBIES WITH MY LTD...LMAO

A buddy of mine runs a wooden battery box it's made out of 2x8 or 10 presser treated and he's never had a problem with it i think he built it around the battery so it's nice and tight

But other then that,the box is only 50% done....it gets a special coat of paint when finished....fireproofing paint(uncle has connections) www.firefree.com/?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=General&utm_campaign=General
