Need pics of battery trays

Just this week, I carefully removed the old factory installed battery tray, spot welds and all, I used metal wedges and hammers to bang the pieces open, bent them off with vice grips, some parts I had to cut around because of the welds. From here it was my dad's idea to use an angle grinder to grind down what was left of the spot welds. After I get the frame around what used to be the tray to 'bare metal', I'm installing a battery tray I bought from Camarosandclassics.com for $50.

The problem is I don't know how It should fit properly, It definitely doesn't fit like factory right now. Can anyone pull you battery out and take a picture? Or are there diagrams somewhere how to do this? Thanks

I see that, if you're standing next to the fender, the top left corner, most of that 'triangle' was cut out, mine looks like this

think anyone can spot what's wrong with it? Is it the alignment? I also had to remove some of the actual frame, as you'll see, on the right side.

Also, does anyone have pics from underneath the tray, so I can see how it connect to the frame?

this pic shows the hole tray out of the car.

there should be no weld on the underside. you should be able to do it all from the top
