I love the idea... Steampunk/Industrial is great stuff... kinda wish you went more for the "Mad Max" thing, but...

Was thinking of Steampunking my 86 Spree.

Back to the battery cover ...
I would tell you whats going on the back for tail lights
but you would probably get a stomach ache from laughing ....
I was going to use all metal but thought it would be to hard to
axcess the battery ,so I made a small plastic cover .
I also noticed when I was marking the cuts with a sharpie
the black looked pretty good .... I wonder if sharpie sells
the black ink to use on plastic ? I know paint will just crack .
