Default Made my own battery cover

Here's a battery cover that I made out of an old plastic drawer. I just cut it to fit and starting painting on it, and I'll just use some commerical strenght velcro to hold it on. When I start painting all of my stuff, I want the engine bay to be almost all covered with artwork, except for the metal parts. I've still got the spider webs to do, clean up the black widow and change the fire. I'm not happy with the fire. Enjoy
Terry

Thanks guys. I'm not allowed to give quotes, but if you have questions just give me a PM. I'll shoot a few coats of clear on it when I change the fire and clean up the spider. Not happy with the fire. I used cheap paint on it, instead of the candy colors to really make it glow. I've still more detail to do on the widow. There's to much over spray on her right now, so I've got to clean her up to make it look more real, then add the webs. I'll put it on the truck when I get it all done and cleared. I've just been very busy lately to finish it.
