Actually the trunk area would work out nicely, but so would under
the back seat on the driverside....
here's an idea, with what ever location that you choose, to protect the fuse panel and make it accesable, use MDF to make a mount ( maby like a little box or something) and carpet it with the same carpet color you are using and cover the top of the mount with plexi-glass I'm doing this with my fuse panel and putting neon inside but I decided to mount my fuse panel in the dash, along with the amps, speaker, video screens, and distribution bloks ( all carpeted the same and plexied where nessesary)
Hope that helps give you an idea!
later,
john
