I think I am going to leave the black plastic one on the back since the battery box is the same.. I am making pickup covers out of the same material as the front cover and I made a truss rod cover to match. I hope it all ties together. Not original plan but you know how it goes the kits seem to always have a plan of their own.. I will be ordering another kit soon and I will just have another body made in case I don't care for it..
