Thread: Odd Place for the Battery

Tweet

There should be enough room under the rear fender, behind the tire, to mount your battery. That's what I did in my 39 Olds. I made a cut-out in the rear wheel well and constructed a box for the battery accessable from INSIDE the trunk. This utilizes space that is otherwise wasted while getting your battery inside the car and over the right rear tire. It worked for me.

I have a hidden panel inside my engine compartment and the battery is in the fender. Just keep the welds clean so water can't get in from the tire. Clean looking. And the vehicle is a 1952 F1 Ford PU. Installed in front of the passenger front tire.
