Hey, that's pretty sharp. So the new cables just run to where the old battery used to be and you made a new, shorter block to connect them? That way you can drop the battery back in up front if you wanted to, huh? I never really thought about it, but that's pretty smart.

Have any pics of the battery in back on the left side? How did you vent it?
