Ballast Box Question?

[451Mopar]

Anyone have suggestions for how to make and install a ballast box that can be somewhat easy to remove?
Also, what is a good source for lead bars? or do you use the lead shot bags?

I know in some of cases they dont want creativity, but insist on conformance......but i would think a couple cheapie bolt in santioning body legal battery boxes and a stack of steel plates could be very effective, and easy to changeup, or remove entirely. Just a guess tho.

Just some big steel bricks bolted down on a rod.

What reinforcement is needed if bolted to the trunk floor?
Street car without cage, but could run quicker than 11.50 and could use the weight to help traction too

100lb box has to be bolted with at least 2 1/2" bolts. We run dumb bell weights mounted on 3/4" rod. Cheapest weight for the box are used wheel weights.They are no longer pure lead but many places will give them to you free. Bolted in the trunk is the easiest. But if you have traction issues sometimes weight will make it quicker. Mine gets bolted in behind th edrivers seat on the floor.
