OKay, enough for now. I will post these and others along with my progress on a blog site so as to clog up someone else's bandwidth.

That battery tray is nasty, but the supports themselves are stable for the time being, so I just formed a piece of 18 gauge steel as a new "deck" to secure the battery.

Make sure you check the area below where the battery tray sat VERY THUROUGHLY! Also check on the inner fender sidewall below where the battery tray was welded. Go as far to remove the weld spots completely and grind 'er down. I had rust/corrosion holes in a nice little line right below the welds. If you're going to go to the trouble of putting in a new tray best to make SURE it's all good (then metal ready or ospho it to be on the safe side!)

vaccum the crap out. dampen the area with a spray bottle and spinkle baking soda around with a sieve. let dry and vaccum again. it will help neutralise the battery acid that is everywhere. go to costco and get a optima.
