I am looking for ideas on a sealed box for my 72 battery. Not the cheap plastic marine ones, but a legit professional quality one that will look and be quality. I have spent extensive time and $$ re-doing this car, and for what it's worth, even though no one will technically see it. I want that quality through and through. When I pull the back seat up, I would like to know, the battery is snug as a bug in a rug:) Wink Wink

Have you tried a search for "racing battery box"?

Here's a really nice one... thought it brings to mind some type of medieval bondage tool Razz

I’d be ok with a plastic battery box if it would fit neatly in the small space and still hold a battery. Kinda tight space. I have found a tray that will work but for a whole box, they are too big.

Anyone else find a clever solution?
