Default display battery?

Does anyone know where you can get those display car batteries that are empty inside? i have a project in mind i've tried googling it and come up with nothing. I ran into a guy awhile ago that had his battery relocated to the back but put one of these in the front for appearance reasons

id rather have the clear space than have a cosmetic battery case. plus itll add unnecessary weight to the car.

Might try looking in something like Hemmings motor news, I know I've seen ads in there for covers that make a modern battery look like the older types
