in my 67:

It's a maintenance free one. Only took my two weekends, because I had to deal with this:
and this:
Only kidding on the battery tray, that was my original replaced with a repro 4 years ago. But the repro was on its way to looking like the original with only 4 years on a lead acid battery.
Once you get into these things, you have to do things, like this:
Also repainted the frame below the battery, luckily it was only light corrosion.
Even reused my original hold down bolt (with a little black phosphate on it):
But in the end, I think it worked out well:

The Vintage Air hoses sure didn't help getting this battery in place. As you can see, I've got a lot more things on my car to address.
But just one step at a time, and having lot's of fun!
