Are you going to route the power cable over the frame like that, or like the ground?
Why aren't you using an Optima?

You truck looks awesome, can't wait to see it finished.
Eddie, the battery tray slides down (and completely out if you choose), for easy battery maintenance and removal.

The power cable will be over the frame, I have left enough slack in it so when the battery slides down it wont bind up. The power wire is actually heading towards the back of the truck, where the remote on/off switch is.

I chose a regular group 24 battery right now mainly because of price. This battery will last long enough for me to get my money out of it. I can always upgrade to an Optima...but right now I need to get the damn truck together and drive it.

Thanks for the kind words, I can't wait to see it finished either.

Chris has the same holder, and he asked me the other night if I had any pics of mine mounted...so I went out to the garage and sanpped a few for him. Mine is on the passenger side, his will be on the drivers side.
