Want to give the battery the "original look" as well. Where can I get the cover/case to put over my existing battery to look like an original AC Delco battery? I thought I had seen a complete case to make my new battery look old??? Have seem them before, but currently not having any luck. Thx. Tom. :)

Is there a battery out there that will go best/fit best with one of these covers? I currently have a white and gray Interstate battery and figure that cover will look odd on that battery. Is there a certain brand "black" battery that will go best?? Thanks fellas. Tom.

Many of the Corvette parts houses sell repro batteries. They're not cheap and probably aren't as good as what you have but they'll give you the look you want.

I bought a AC Delco battery from the local Chevy Dealer and the cover I got from Ground Up fit perfect.

Thx Mike72ss. Do you have the model number of the battery you bought or did you just go to buy it and try the cover first? Thanks again. Tom.

The # on the AC Delco I bought was 34H6YR. Its a top post and fits perfect
