[VAL] Battery question



I am getting close to the time to start thinking about batteries for 
the rebuilt '57 Bubble. I have ordered a converter and charge wizard 
from Randy and now I'm wondering: Do I need two 6V batteries or two 
12V's? Also, with two 6's would they be hooked up parallel or in series 
to deliver 12V? I had an old MG that had 2 6's in lieu of a 12v but I 
always get the terms mixed up "parallel & series".
    I started doing a little test polishing today, both by hand and 
using a little 2-handed $20 machine from Wally. Now I'm off trying to 
find replacement pads for polish and for buffing. I also have a little 
B & D portable screwdriver and if I can find a little polish attachment 
I'll also try that. I have finally figured out that it's dumb to use 
just one technique ALL DAY. Can you say "repetitious movement syndrome" 
?
    Took the vent out and tomorrow the Fantastic Fan goes in. (Chuck: 
are you listening?).
thanks for any advice on the batteries.
