Hey Troy - dodge ram looks pretty tough!!
Thanks NO_H2O - its coming together pretty well - just can't wait to hear it!
Okay, a new update...
Started playing with the battery clamp (aluminium) and mdf surround....
The two long bolts will go through the floor up through the mdf and aluminium (through those two holes). The mdf will be fixed to the battery clamp and supported underneath the fuse block which can be seen here.
Of course the mdf will be tidied up, edge routed (roundover) and painted in body colour to match fuse panel box...and aluminium will be milled and polished.
