Not Ranked
Carlo,
No pics of mine, but I can describe it for you. I used a regular battery tray from Auto Zone mounted to the metal plate on the drivers side. I contemplated a box, but in the end, there is really no way to get the battery into it, and it is hidden behind the carpet panel anyways.
I ran my battery cable from the starter along the inner passenger frame rail similar to the way the brake and fuel lines go along the drivers rail. I went through the emergency brake cable bracket with a grommet, and then out the back. In my case, I went behind the member that goes vertical. If I had it again, I would just run along side that member. I then ran it up into the upper trunk deck where it goes to my kill switch mounted high and center on the rear cowel. The live wire from the switch goes to the battery running inside of the carpeted panels.
With this in mind, keep in mind that when you upholster the interior, there is a nice open space under each door from the foot box all the way back to the rear cowell. You might want to consider using this as a path. It is inside the car, fairly accesible. Hindsight is 20/20.
