I made a mount for the battery out of angle iron, I don't have a good picture but, it just follows the perimeter of the battery then has a clamp that goes over the top.
It's been slow going on the Whippet lately but, I have been able to get a few things done. The above picture shows the rear panel that I made to tie the rear together. I made it from 18 gauge. Its hard to do long bends without a brake but, if you take your time you can do it with some clamps, angle iron and hammer/dolly work.
This is just a shot of the inside of the panel.
I cut down the decklid to make it fit better and installed the taillights.
I installed a piano hinge on the bottom of the decklid and got some spring latches for the top that I haven't mounted yet. I am currently working on bleeding the brakes after installing all new brake components from Thompson's Garage and a new 48' ford style master cylinder from Speedway Motors.
Till next time keep your ears and eyes open for hidden car treasure!
