Nice work! What is the width of one of those supplies?
I think it's about 4 3/4 inches wide, 7 3/4 long and about 2 or 2 1/2 tall.
The Radio Shack project box is 7x5x3

I could connect them together, or pull in front of a car that I wanted to jump start, then plug in the 18' #4 jumper cables to the back of my truck, and jump start it. No need to turn around on a street or freeway, or pull up next to the car in a parking lot, but I could back in if needed.

Now I just need a remote pot mounted in the box with a knob.
