Re: '50 chevy 3100

I replaced the right front hanger this morning. Still can't believe the bolt broke in half in there. For the price of the right drill bit to drill it out, I found a couple hangers off eBay for same price.

Next I decided I wanted the battery under the hood but not on the firewall. So that there is room for future a/c and heater. I copied joedoh and put it in the inner fender. I measured height of tire and added how far the springs can come up and added a couple inches. I made a cardboard "battery" that was slightly oversized than the old battery I had in the c10.

I then cut the box down to how I wanted the shelf to fit the new hole. I used that as a template to cut out some sheet metal out of the old c10 hood. I clamped it down on the bench and used a hammer to bend into shape. A little trimming and a few welding tacks and it's in. Needs some cleaning up but came out good.
