Hi Doug,
I'll post some photos by this weekend. I have been progressively working my way into to guts of the car from the outside in. The interior is coming out next and will be sent out sometime next week to the upholsterer if all goes well. I breifly took a crawl under and looked at the battery "box" if you can call it that... and it has been reinforced with a couple old licence plates laid in there! The original metal is there, but it's thin in the front corners, probably where acid ate away at it. The support is one piece and the top end of the "U" shape appear to be rivited on. It's more of a cradle than an enclosed box.
