A little Bling for the battery! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stopped by the plastic supplier today and picked up some mirrored plexiglass. The thin stuff. I measured where my two battery posts were and made a cardboard template to test fit. Then I transferred it to the plexiglass and cut two .75" diameter holes. I just layed it on and added new anti-corrosion felts and put the nasty terminals back on for now. I'm planning to buy chrome dress up terminal covers soon and maybe add a bowtie to the center

. Here's a few pics

That looks relly good Jim. Have been looking for a way to hide that nasty eye sore.

Thanks Alex. I have 3 extra sheets listed for sale on the parts board!.

WOW, I like that. Great job and it looks really good with the other mods to your engine bay.

You know what would look good on that? A Glove Box Chevy emblem, the crome looking ones. Again, great piece.

Thanks Billy. I'm planning to add a small bowtie of some sort.

And you have the "Stones" to make fun of me "Blinging" my engine. Shame on you Jim.....

I've been trying to figure out how to protect the bottom of the hood where the battery sits.... Looks good.
