That looks like a great spot for the battery.

On another topic, your drive shaft. When I took my S10 apart I had never seen such a big driveshaft on such a small vehicle, and made from some kind of carbon fibre??

When it was time to join my trans. with the rear, I measured the distance I needed (I think it was 57 inches) went to kijiji/craigslist, and found the exact length driveshaft for $60. The seller told me it came from a 1969 Buick Skylark.

I simply cleaned it up, added new u joints and I was good to go, and it was narrower so gave me a little more space between the gas tank and the muffler. (sorry I don't have pics)

This was one of those rare occasions when I actually spent less money than I was expecting, and to top it all off, some guy purchased my S10 driveshaft for $80.

Keep up the good work, and thanks for the updates.
