I did not like the look of the new battery in my classic trunk so I made a battery top that looks like a 1960's battery. I used scrap wood from my garage and bought contact lens cases at the local drug store to simulate the old school cell caps. Then I painted the cover black, the terminals aluminum, and the caps yellow.
