Delco Battery Topper Resto

[XXXGoldL34M20]

Rick you are correct with your comments but i copied a R89W NOS battery as that is what the Sticker is on a Reproduction battery topper. See the first Photo of the R89W NOS battery.
I think the R79 battery had a smooth finish on the top were the R89 had that grainy look.
But what is confusing is i found this R79 NOS picture with the red painted letters/
I am guessing that when the batteries were new in the car it did not have the red letters but when you replaced the battery later on and got one over the service counter they did have the red letters?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that white plastic "Danger Poison" tag is a modern warning label. The originals didnt have them. Kind of like the infamous Ford "Caution Fan" sticker found on all Camaros.

The topper modifictaion looks awesome, BTW.

That's correct.. That is a modern label that should be removed. Lots of guys leave them on the batteries.. But it should not be there...

Your topper looks awesome!! I did the same to mine as far as the Delco Eye is concerned. I painted the bottom glass of an original one with green Testors model paint and it looks great...
