Default Battery cover done
Took a fuse cover from a Silverado and made it into my battery cover..... Had to grind the under side to make smooth, but I think ti came out pretty damn good.





Also have another Silverado fuse cover cut to fit the fuse block....

Later

I like it, it looks good. What year Silverado did you get the fuse cover for the battery off of? I might have to keep an eye out for one next time I'm at the yard.
