Some more fabrication progress in the 61 pre paint. We have so much jammed into this project it’s hard to find space for everything especially to achieve the hidden and clean aesthetic yet maintain serviceability. The battery is located in the trunk between the seat and sub box and represents a massive convergence point for all electrical systems. In addition the air suspension manifold is located here. We removed the bracing behind the seat. Designed a simple battery tray that allows easy install with the seat back removed. The airlift manifold was then boxed in to allow easy routing of the lines. This is the kind of work you don’t see and really sets cars like this apart from some of the quick and dirty installs.
