you need to cut a hole down to the top of the frame rails in the trunk. Weld in your rack there. Never bolt straight to the sheetmetal in the trunk or weld just to that.



Here is a pic of my old regal. Try to get the batts in the corners as much as possible. Mount the solenoids to the batt rack in the corner might have to weld an extended piece of metal to get them up higher of the rack. Cut holes in the square tube for your wires to your pump motors and dumps. That will make for a cleaner install and only necessary wires are seen. Oh yeah ground the dump to itself, you dont need two wires coming of the dump.
