I mounted the battery tray on the passenger side firewall on my '55 Studebaker truck. I hate the looks of a plain old battery up front and up top like that but I didn't want to put it under the floor or in a box in the bed so there it will sit. I'm thinking about making it interesting, at least. I have a Delco side post display battery, meaning it is a "real" battery, except it is an empty case. I'm probably going to mount a smaller "real" battery inside it and hide the cables from view. So the battery will sit in the tray with no cables attached. Maybe onlookers at cruise-ins will scratch their heads wondering how it starts and runs with no cables from battery to starter, etc.
Another option would be to use a "high-end" battery like an Optima or reproduction vintage battery. That probably won't happen due to the high cost.
