Alright peepz here's my question I am going to do a new batt/pump rack cuz the one I got is just ghetto as hell!

haha that makes me laugh the way I bought this car! You should have seen the pump that was in it before! It was 1 pump that had four dumps on it! Looked like a damn transformer coming out of the trunk but this is my question this rack is of coarse welded to the trunk floor what is your guys opinion of how I mount the rack I don't wanna weld it ot the floor of my trunk due to my corner panels buckling but I need some opinions of the other ways to mount the racks

cut that stuff out. Cut the side the trunck floor where the from rails are pretty much where you batts a sitting. weld in some post with square tubing weld in another piece from post to post and make batt tray and weld them fuckers in and make some pump mounts and your done. If you want to make some holes in the channel for wires it will make it cleaner and put your solenoids behind the batts. They are harder to get to but it will look clean. I used herculiner in my trunk and that shit takes a beating.

Herculiner? What's that? Like Rhinolining? So I gotta cut out holes in the sheet metal??

What's the thickness of the metal I should buy? I forgot the measurements of it

its alot better than rhino. just get what ever you can get to make it I had mine done in 1/4 thickness, probably overkill.

For the Bottom rack you should use at least 1" x 2" x 3/16" rectangle tubing and for the rack itself at least 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 3/16" angle iron. I use 2" x 2" x 1/4" square tubing for the bottom rack and 2" x 2" x 1/4" angle on 90 percent of cars and on all my personal vehicles.
