Thread: Odd Place for the Battery

Tweet

I'm gonna be anxious to see the answer on this one. I hadn't thought about that spot but am pretty sure that we have enough room under the front fender too!

There was an article in Street Rodder or Custom Rodder about putting the battery in the front fender. It was a fat fender Chevy, '38 or in there with lots of room. If you put it in a box to keep the crud away it should work fine. Put the starter relay somewhere you can get at it and you can hook booster cables up there.

I originally put my battery uner my front fender of my 37 chevy truck but even through it was mounted on a bracket inside a box, I never liked it and just didn't seem right so I remounted it behind my seat so all I have to do now is tilt the back of the seat forward and I can get to the battery. Works great.
