Hey folks.
I talked with my custom welding guy today about a battery tray storage box for the SRT-10 trucks (for use in that 2nd battery tray). A custom one-off *is* going to happen, but I figured some of my buddies might like one as well.
Before I put an order in for 10 of them and get all nutty with colors, etc., I wanted to check to see if any forum members would be interested in something like this.
Here's the basic plan:
- Storage box will fit perfectly the battery tray (LxW).
- Height will be set just under the hood strut mount.
- All-aluminum construction (gauge unknown at this time, but nothing too heavy)
- Will be non-invasive (no drilling!)/will use existing screws.
- Possible weather-proof, or just a simple rubber seal between lid & box.
- Single latch with either piano hinge or dual hinges.
- Possible powder coating (or anodized) colors:
- Red (3)
- Silver/clearcoated (1)
- Blue (1)
- White (1)
- Yellow (1)
- Black (3)
- Of course, the larger the quantity, the cheaper they become.
- Estimated price (via the phone): About $50 before coating.
I'm headed to his shop after the Mopar Nats to go over the details. I'll be dropping off my spare battery tray with him so he can get the dimensions dead-on.
I will post progress pics and design updates in this thread as soon as I get them.
If you're interested, please let me know.
