Re: Battery cutoff trans am and firebird

i dont have any pics of it, but when i got my car it had a rotating on/off switch mounted under the trunk well and a rod attached to the handle which ran out one of the lower license plate holes where the handle was located. pretty slick and worked good.

Just remember, it needs to be on the positive circuit and it must kill the engine when turned off.
