One more quick question, is that the wrong battery?
Should the posts be facing the fender? :)

Bob, my posts are on the other side. I would think having that battery stay so close to the positive terminal would be a hazard.

Love the Energizer battery. I've never seen one before. :)

That's my exact thought. Funny how I never realized it till I started
putting stuff back together.
The AC line metal connector so close to the post worries me too.
I think I'll be replacing the battery. :)

Began putting the interior back together.
Had to change out the right side wheel well cover
as it was looking pretty sad.
Turned into a major project as the AC evaporator had to be
lowered to gain access. Not a fun thing to put back in.
The upper console and shifter boot are courtesy of Tommy.
Need to refinish the shift knob and hook up some music :)

Sanded, sealed & clear coated the shift knob.
Not like new but good enough. :)
