The "Look what I made/installed/modified today" thread.

We have a "Look what I bought thread" so why not a "Look what I made/installed/modified today" thread.

Lots of us have been putting in some wrench time and getting our hands dirty and dusty. Post up you projects you did.

Today I finished up my shaved battery cover. Ill start the next one today.

its Autobody 101 stuff. I just used a soldering gun to melt the cover to the big cover. Then grind the plactics to prep for epoxy. Sand the epoxy then light coat of polyester putty. Then prime.

It looks clean. But how are you going to get to the battery/brake fluid now?

I guess its a little more inconvenience. But worth it if it cleans up the engine bay.
