Ok next Im doing the electronics cavity AND im not sure if I should make the cavity large enough to Hold the 2 9 volts I want to use, Do you guys think I should use a Battery Box from stewmac http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...es.html#details

I would probably go with the battery box, just because I really don't like having to remove a backplate to swap out a battery. Also, having the battery box is a helluva lot more elegant than having batteries wrapped in foam stuffed into the electronics cavity for fear of defective battery leakage ruining stuff or the movement of the battery knocking out a solder joint.

Nice build, btw. Though a noob, I've been stalking this site for awhile and I really admire the cojones displayed in your designs.
