scooter99 Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Posted November 25, 2013 Thanks Kyle. I'll get it. It's just devastating when I spend the little bits of time I have on a project and have it not work. Makes it that much harder to fail. I'll get there.

scooter99 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Posted November 27, 2013 Ok we have success! I went out tonight with my hour or so of free time, and I whooped the trunks ass!! I will not be beaten by some wood and metal. I decided, instead of trying to start over, I would take what I have already built, and even as painful as it would be, hack at it until it fit. I knew the inner part of the boxes would not be impeded, allowing the batteries to slide in just fine. But I figured that it was the extra inch I added by using 1/2" birch to build the boxes. I didn't think about that when I was test fitting. Thankfully, it only effected me in a couple of places. Let's get on with it. So this is about how tall it is. It's about an inch and a half. It's also a little wide. So I had to make some alterations to it. Cut the bottom off, that'll save me a half inch. Half inch isn't very significant you'd think, but with what was behind where the cut would be made, it appeared that it might impeded withe the outer part of the fender. OBVIOUSLY we don't want that!!! That's a bit better. I'll only be cutting out about a 3/4"-1" now. Had to remove the deadener, it'll gum up the blade. This is about where I'm going to cut. It's actually ends up only being the lower part of that wing. Just above that line, or right on it, is the seam where the two pieces meet. So the seam won't be cut out. That's a good thing. The carnage! It's much better. It's gonna fit height wise now, but there's still some work to do on the sides. Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build
scooter99 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Posted November 27, 2013 This is where it's at now. This was where it was at before. So I started drawing some cut out lines. Did some notching and we're in!! Did some notching and we're in!! Put the batteries in, to make sure we have clearance from the trunk arm. There's plenty. It'll end up being close after the trim panel goes in, but as long as that arm can go down unimpeded, it's all good. Then I did the same thing for the driver side. After a little work, it's in. Side view. So now we're back to moving forward! So that's it. Next I'll get the floor anchored, and then get the kreg jig out and get some holes drilled in these racks. I know it looks a little rough right now, but it will be good in the end. Thanks!! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build

goodvibez Posted November 27, 2013 Report Posted November 27, 2013 Sweet man glad you got it worked out! Lookin good! Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are! I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!
