I think everyone survived the holidays so it looks like I can add some new stuff here instead of the one I started about a battery.

I'm swapping the big ol' Optima battery to a little Odyssey PC680 which is about 1/3rd the size. Its become quite a project as there is NO excess room anywhere except back in the trunk or hung off of the rear cross member I added for the gas tank reinforcing - or maybe under the splash shield. That's the easy part. The hard part is finding a place for the master shut off as well as the solenoid I use in addition to the starter mounted and rerouting a bunch of wiring. The battery cable has become very dear as far as price(~$5/foot!!!), so I'm trying to reuse what I have plus the approximate 3-4 feet of left over. All this is going to be done while lying on my aching back
