The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time

That looks sweet with no power steering. I just would hate to drive without
it.
Mad man manual rack and 205x17 tires help a lot. It aint so bad.

Thanks, the battery cover is made by Optima. I bought the only battery size that they make covers like that for, it's not the battery Optima recommends as the direct replacement, I got a different size that still fits.

BTW- not sure if you guys know this or not but those OPTIMA battery carrying straps do come off....I always take mine off after I put it in the car, then just put the strap in my tool box.
IMHO, it makes the battery look cleaner.
