This what I did...
1 - Gel Battery ($129),
1 - Universal tray and tiedown ($15)
1 - JB Weld glue ($4)
1 - long red battery. (I foget)
1 - short black battery cable. (I forget)
Attach the black cable to the ground post and chassis/frame
Attach the red cable to the positive post and the positive post on the starter.
The rest is self explanitory.
I will be bolting my battery tray down later when I flush out my gas tank.

To hold the battery tray down untill I drill holes and paint the trunk...
I'll will chip the JB Weld off later becuase the paint will come off with it.
