To get the spare out, I must set the battery up out of the way. THIS EXPLAIN's why the battery leads are looped instead of straight, SO I dont have to unhook everything. I know the battery install would be cleaner with straight runs but unless I enter in an SQ comp they will stay this way. I travel alot and live in the mountains so a spare was a must, PLUS i needed my Feiro sized trunk for my luggage. I know most ppl will tell you to use cardboard for a template but I use a piece of MDF. Infact if I wasn't SOOO ANAL I could of used my template as there was little to NO difference. I built LOG CABIN'S for 5 year's, so I will tell you the trick. If the panel is sliding left for example, first determine HOW far the piece needs to travel left to reach its final resting place, we will use 1" for this example. Now when marking The 1" most ppl don't take in to account to ONLY measure 1" STRAIGHT OUT TO THE RIGHT on a level plain. So any defining point in your scribe will stay on A LEVEL LINE. I usally make square line's off the left edge at all defining points and just measure and mark a 1" on a level plain in a few spots and then connect the dot's. They make a scribe tool with Leveling bubble's for working on round log so you can keep the marks out on a level plain but problaby overkill for our app's. The trunk is NOT all the way done yet, Is why no overall pic's yet. Probably later today.

Here is the left beauty panel in the trunk, aka the control panel. ALL trunk panels are form fit with NO screws holding them in. And the right side, not mch goin on over here. I did Log work for about 5 years if you where wondering about the scribing skills. Here is the floor with all the panels installed. I am VERY happy with the outcome. Oh yeah, here are the before pics, I never finished the last beauty panel because it was temporary. More pics on the way.....

Da trunk battery, take a lOOk see. the before pic, And now the D1200 in it home..... This is without the floor panel installed, more pics on the way.

I finally got the battery's buttoned up, so take a lOOk see...... Here is the before pic.... And now the D3400 in its new home, and the big 3 redone with better wire, and a double run to the back, now all I need is an HO alt........ I still need to install some wire loom, I already have, just ran out of time yesterday..... More picture's on the way.......

Wait for it.....
