    Well I got one of Joe's battery trays today. It's a high quality part. I did a test fit it on my 71 Comet and its a perfect fit. If this part is an indication of the quality of parts to come, we won't be disappointed. Thanks Joe.

    That's Great

    With Dennis' eye for detail, I am sure it will pass most anyone's scrutiny.

    Good job, Joe.

    I not only second that but third it also!!! I also got my battery tray today! This part far exceeds my expectations. I was expecting the type of finish I've seen when I purchased a similar tray for a Mustang in the past. Matter of fact, I bought a Mustang tray to put in my blue Maverick about 4 years ago. It had a thin coat of black paint, probably just to keep it from rusting. I sanded and repainted it before putting it in my car. JOE'S TRAY...NO COMPARISON!!! This part is show quality right out of the box. Guys, you get what you pay for. If you want something to remove from the box and bolt on your car with NO extra prep work, this is it. I am tired of spending 2, 3, even 4 hours just refurbishing a battery tray to put back into my car. (Time is money) I promise you guys, you will not be disappointed in this part. This part is going to sell for $72.95. If my bodyshop spent just two hours refurbishing YOUR battery tray you will have $86.00 in just LABOR, then add part and materials. This is an excellent deal. This first run of trays will not likely last long guys...get them while you can.
    I have talked to Joe many times the last few months about the upcoming parts he has been promising us. He has always been very excited about this tremendous task he has taken on and this part reflects that excitement. I am thoroughly impressed!!! Thanks Joe! :thumbs2::thumbs2::thumbs2:

    Thank You Much Dennis and Ray for looking the Trays over,, I know I as well as many here Value your opinions. Its From years of people seeing The awesome work you do,, If a part is late coming out,, its because I am not happy with the Quality,,, I shouldnt have to pick thru a bin of 50 parts to find one I like for my car,, I should be able to grab a box off the shelf at random,, and just install it,, 98% of every thing we are making,, Is Made in the USA.
    The rest of the Trays will be going out in 7 days from Tomorrow.. We are waiting for the Fasteners to arive, To be put in the Boxes with the Trays,,

    Thank You

    Joe

    The 74 to 77 has a pressed threaded nut about an inch and a half Higher on the bracket,,, it does not use the lower hole,, the inner battery apron is a little diferant on the 74 and up,,, so we made both styles,, Look at my gallery picks of the Bracket at fab shop,, the rusted tray assembly is a late model unit,, click on the pic and you can see the diferance,,,:thumbs2:

    The battery tray assemblies can be chromed as well,, those are special orders,,, and the cost would be higher,

    I'm so torn. Those look really great, but I want to move the battery to the trunk, and then I won't need one! :huh:
