Default Can someone TIG up an aluminum battery box??

I would like to get a battery box for my Optima, most of the ones out there are just way to big. I would like to get one made specifically for a Group 35 battery.

I just need a simple box with a lid, no holes or anything, I can take care of that myself. Looking for something with inside measurments of 9.5" L x 7" W x 8.25" H. Let me know if one of you guys could make that and how much you would need for it.

Thanks,
Steve

If you are familiar with VWVortex forums, try to contact a guy named "Jazzpur"

He just made me this res. tank for my A/W intercooler. This is a pic of the 2 "U's" he bent me to form the box, it is not even welded yet, this is how well it naturally sits together!

He has his Email listed as goosepoop2@aol.com, on there, he has amazingly fair prices, tell him Patatron sent you.

i can make you one, i'm in waterdown. although, if you plan on going to the drag strip, i'm not sure they allow battery boxes that are made of conductive material. plastic is your best bet. i'm going to be changing my ss one for a plastic one.
