Battery Racks

These racks are 1 1/2 x 1/8 angle iron, which was $24 for a 20 footer. I cut the pieces with a jigsaw with a bi-metal blade. Marcus showed me how and let me use his wire feed welder. I know I won't be charging for welding anytime soon. The welds aren't pretty but I think they will hold. I'll paint the racks to prevent rust and bolt them to the floor where the spare tire was. The smaller rack I'll weld to the frame in the front where the radiator used to be. I'll put an 1/8 inch piece of packing board on the bottom of the racks to help level them off, since the welds are high. Four bats in the back and 2 in the front. The next step is to pull the cables then put the batteries in.
