Building the battery rack without a plan was a slow process. I was very careful to think out each piece, measure everything several times, and grind all of the joints to prep the steel for welding. When all was said and done, it came out exactly as I had first pictured it. When I was finished I sprayed the whole thing with rubberized undercoating as I had done inside the trunk.
By the time I was finished, I had gotten a lot of practice at mig welding and was getting pretty good. I can verify two things that I really already knew but had never experienced. Mig welding WILL sunburn exposed skin. Also, when welding while sitting on the ground, do not let hot sparks bounce up your pant leg.
