    New Stainless battery box

    I had Jimsvt build me a batt box a while back but the car I meant to put it in never got finished. Well my current car does not need one either so I am going to part with it. It is an extremely stout piece, much stronger than the aluminum one you get from the mail order places. Measurements are 12in wide 9in deep and 10.5in tall. It should fit most batteries. It would also make a great ballast box. $70 takes it home.

    BTW I had a buddy that bought a couple of these as well and had them polished. Damn that looked like mirrors.

    An optima will fit. I bought another of Jim's boxes for my car a while back. Super nice box, you just have to cut it down an inch or two to make it fit into a coupe trunk.

    I'm not sure exactly what the NHRA rule book says exactly but if the aluminum ones that are sold are legal I would not see why this wouldn't be. It is ALOT more sturdy than the aluminum ones.

    Looks very similar to the Taylor box i have, Only thing it may need is a vent tube out of the car.

    Guys I've had a couple offers of $50 and said I would take that. However the deals happened. So it is still for sale and my bottom $ is $50.

    Will an OPTIMA yellow top fit in this box? If so, and it's still available for the NMRA event , I'll take it.
