This was a good Monday. Work went by smoothly. Picked up the little ones, no hassles there. Got my chores done with time to spare. How about a little progress? Nothing major today, just made some battery links.

Before going too far I figured I do some work in the virtual world. This is what I came up with. Bare with me as it's a little incomplete since I don't have the cables modeled up. I'll get those in soon. :)

Here we go. Not only do I have a little band saw, I've also got a little drill press. :P I picked up a 12ft bar of 6061-T6 Aluminum locally. It measures 3/8" by 1-1/2", this should be enough to get the job done. I used work's bad a$$ cold saw to make short work of cutting the bar down to the strips I needed.

Starting off small here with a 1/8" pilot hole.

Now were cooking. Stepped it up to a 13/32" drill. The studs on the batteries are 3/8-16 so the 13/32" drill will give me a little wiggle room. Ahhh, what a stringy mess.

The details are where it's at fellas. Take a little pride in what you do and give the little extra effort to debur your holes with a good quality counter sink.

:) Nuff said.

OMG! Look at what the cat coughed up. o_o

:drink40: Thanks. I'm lacking with my big kid words to explain why I'm running shorter bars instead of longer ones. How about I draw a picture? :)

What's up everybody? I got a little tired of working on the battery rack so I focused my efforts back on the front stage. Last I left things I had some pods roughed out. I glued the required layers together and started off by drilling some holes for the threaded inserts.

I followed up by sanding the pods to the final profile. Here is a pic of my make shift sander.

Before I go any further I figure I owe you guys a shot of the man behind the curtain. Also safety first. :P

I used a primer on these pods for porous surfaces. Nothing fancy, just your standard issue Killz brand home exterior/interior primer.

This was followed up with a couple coats of grey paint.

As the paint dries. I worked on how I would mount these pods to the doors. Like all good mounts we start with a hole.

The follow up is what makes the difference. In this case I fell back on my classic rivnut follow up. A classy way to put threads in sheet metal.

Now we're talking. Prepping the wires.

More on the way. :)
