Battery cover
When I bought my 89 3 years ago, it had a new Interstate Battery in it. It sticks out like a sore thumb!
I have looked in every aftermarket catalog I know of for a black cover but no luck. I don't want the chrome or polished stainless. Does anyone have a picture of a black cover they bought or even made? Thanks.

I haven't done this, but maybe the lid from a marine battery case (usually red and clear) could be fashioned to work and painted in matching black. These can be found at Wally World, or any place that sells batteries.
It's just an idea Good Luck

I think I am going to attempt something homemade to cover the battery. I will post some pictures of what I come up with even if the end result looks like it should be in a Mustang. Joe, If I had the money you think I have, I would buy a green Corvette for you but it would have a red top battery in it.
