No need to apologize for the sarcasm. When you are talking to someone that appears as dense as a board (me) it is to be expected. :-D I work daily with (I am one) many 'ground floor' workin' folk and the smart ass, rude, sarcastic entertaining conversations that go with it. Yesterdays included masterbation, tracking chips in flu shots :-P, street gangs, motorcycles, double d's, Union issues and management. I have so many tire tracks on my back they look like moguls. :lol: But do not despair,,, I will not disappoint... :mrgreen:

Finally got around to trying the form with .93 ABS. Though the sheet was too small for the stretch I thought I would try it anyway. Oops. The good thing is it allowed me to see that it might have been a tiny bit too short but there was room to add a spacer to the bottom of it.
So on to fiberglass. Taped the form and base with strapping tape, mixed a little black pigment with the resin, and 'glassed 'er up. Did it last night so have not been to the shop to check it yet. Yes, that is a signed Malcolm Smith poster. Had a fun few hours visiting with him a couple years ago. He is really as nice as he seems. Still rides!

Kinda looks like my work bench.. without the cool Malcolm Smith poster :-D

Box trimmed with battery in place.
Box in bike. As was said in the movie 'Babe'; "That'll do pig, that'll do..."
Interesting note; The piece of wood I used dried and warped after I cut it down. Makes the battery a tight fit. :x

Dam that's clean. I may have to copy that ideas for bat box
