really cool!

where did you get those optima batteries?

by the way not to be critical but the yellow top optima battery doesnt belong in a street car. its a deep cycle battery and a typical trickle charge circuit like a generator/alternator wont keep it up to snuff and it will most likely expire within a year unless its taken off and deep cycle charged. ask me how i know. now the red top one, thats a street, non-deep cycle battery.

i have a toyota land cruiser with a 350 v8 in it with a dual battery setup, a red one for everyday use and a yellow i usually switch to when i need to use my winch for any length of time and im way off the road. i generally take the yellow one out for a deep cycle recharge about once a year but thats only because it doesnt get used much. if i used it regularly it would probably need to be dc'ed once a month. i dont want to get stuck up goler wash in death valley or out in utah canyons with a dead battery...been there and done that and dont care to repeat the hike out.

anyway sorry to pick nits, those are really cool builds with very nice detail.
