Default Diamond Plate Rocker

Made a battery cover and dash insert out of some aluminum diamond plating. It was a bit challenging bending the battery box cover to shape but with a bit of patience and two different attempts it was done alas. I think it turned out great but will never do it again...

Thanks all, after I put it on I thought it might be a too much bling.

Bygcland- Seat bracket was fabricated using existing strut frame holes and the seat was ordered online from HD (1925 solo) as a direct replacement for the xbones seat.
