We've been working at finishing the front inner fenders. We wanted to build a panel around the battery to seal it all up from dirt and debris from getting back in there while driving.



We built a bevel around the battery to frame it out and also go with same angle bevel that we used under the hood in multiple places and also GM used under the windows of the outside body.





Then, we double lipped the edge of the piece, built a tab piece to hold it on and framed out the battery hold down pieces we machined. One side down, one to go, but we have a couple added touches for the second side!

We're coming down to the end on the fab work finally and paint is right around the corner. I'm not sure if I posted the rendering yet or not, so here it is. It's getting bodyworked better then GM did and re-painted black with a hockey stripe style graphic and it will say AWD and Supercharged up in the front of the graphic just so that everyone knows.

I might have to steal that battery idea when I can afford to make my fender liners

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Ryan, I guess you can use the idea... I thought your batteries were in the back though?

We've got the drivers side battery trim panel all finished up. On this one we included some high amp battery service ports and a charging port for a CTek charger to plug into. On this car, you can't do anything without battery power, including opening the doors or hood or anything to get access to the battery (when the air is out of the suspension), so this spot can be accessed when the truck is on the ground should you ever need to! Better to be safe then sorry... We also recessed the piece in to protect it since it is inside the wheel well.
