Don't want to derail Ryan's thread he is doing great work but the CJ has had a big setback. 
But yes hadn't really thought about the battery platforms but since the CJ had foam in those areas too with a plywood floor wasn't really thinking much of it either.

I thought long and hard about glassing in the boxes, and finishing the front off. The more I thought about it I figured this way water will never have a chance to rot anything out, as it can flow right under the battery tray and out the drain hole.

Not sure what the factory was thinking in this side panel? crazy.gif it's trimmed to fit now, little peanut butter, fiber glass and belt sanding and it will be one solid piece
