I am considering the use of Optima 6V @ 800cca since they are totally sealed and less prone to outgas. I worry the acidic gasses will damage my seats which I want to avoid.
The Rebat label would be really cool. Count me in for one...... The Optimas are round so I plan to fashion an aluminum face/ends and paint it flat black. That should give the appearance of a box/correct shape. The tops will be wrong but a reasonable vintage look should result regardless.

Actually, the G-35s are only about 300 cca. But two together would give 600cca, which is more than enough for most motors. Hell, I currently run ONE of those batteries and it has no problem turning my car over.
