Freds 73 Scamp restore on a budget

I'd paint the cover the same as the car color and have it cover the top of the grill too. Get some real thin gauged aluminum and put some bead work on it. Dzus fasteners would be trick. That console is going to be SWEET!!!
Beer holder could be the last thing you put in. Just drill a hole and drop a cup holder it in there.
Yea I think your right the cover would be better car color and the cup holder is a good idea. I'm getting ready to build the console glove box next and the lid.
