The battery box didn't require a hole like the '61 and up cars.


In fact, there was no "hole" in the '60 fender well at all on either 
side, just a slight notch in the RR well to make room for the battery 
tray which is another tip-off because since the spare in '60 was in 
the trunk, there's no BIG hole in the RR fender well to accommodate 
the spare.

Yep, assy lines wouldn't have changed any of the sheet metal since it 
all came from Fisher Body "pre-assembled" and it's the body sheet 
metal that makes the '60 what it is, not add-ons.
