Trunk Carpet

[JMD68RSSS]

I have Woody's HotRod E-Z panels in my trunk and I am starting to look at what to cover them with. What do people use? This will be a low dollar cover as I will try it myself first.

Thanks

JEFF

get some carpet they use for speaker boxes its pretty cheap cost wise and some good 3m adhesive should work fine...

Thanks for the input.

Jeff,

I sent you a pm asking the same following questions.
How do you like the fit of the panels and how are you going to attatch them? What are the panels made of and can you cut them to put access doors in? I want to be able to hide my nitrous bottle and my cleaning supplies but still be able to get to them without to much trouble.

Thanks,
Ken

Ken,

The panels fit well. The system is set up to have tension only hold them in place. It has worked with them unfinished. When finished they will be tight. The back and sides are easily removed.

Made of 1/4" masonite material finished on both sides. Additional opening could be cut, but if the tension system is used, they would not be needed.

No figuring or cutting is good for me. The hinge opending needed filed down alittle.

Chris at Woody's was great to work with.

Does anyone on here have any more pics done with the same as this kit Jeff has? First Gen pics if possible.
The kit itself isn't priced to bad. I don't think I could get some masonite and make one myself considering the time it would take for measuring and cutting.
Thanks for the info Jeff,
Ken

I tried googling, but could not find Woody's HotRod. Could you or someone else post a link to the site?

How does the panel fit and is there support underneath it so you can actually use the trunk? Also are the panels sturdy enought to apply a Dynamat type sounde deadener?

[JMD68RSSS]

All,

The insructions call for 2 lenghts of a 2x4 to be placed under the bottom panel for support. When the 2x4's are in place, they are sturdy.

I have never touched or installed DynaMat, but I would think it could be applied.

The links above are correct.

Anybody got any pics of their trunk finished off? Does not matter what it is made of, I just need a couple of ideas. I have a nitrous bottle behind each wheel tub and planning on a nice stereo system when I go to finish my trunk. I like the masonite idea.

I found this with woodys hot rod e-z panel search.

Nice jobs , rockdogz how did you hold the panels in that are around the hinges and what wood have you used.
thanks

[69ratfed]

Zoomie and rockdogz,
Nice job, How did you guys attatch the panels. Also, do you have any problem with heat bothering your amps.
Anyone else have any pics?

[rockdogz]

Right now the panels next to the sub are held in by industrial velcro. The side pieces are just press fit - after everything is upholstered then I will go back and see what needs to be modified if the upholstery shop doesn't.

I set up some fans that turn on when the amps are on to cool them.

click my link there are some pics of my camaros trunk there.....

Viperblue,
Nice job on trunk. I have some houndstooth material left over from doing 2001 seats in my 69. I think I will incorporate that with some leftover black vinyl to do my trunk. Winter project.
Thanks guys.

I just ordered my panels from woodys and I have to agree....Chris was very nice to work with. I havent gotten the panels yet but they look decent in the above pics. One thing I had not thought of until now is; do the panels cover the taillight area? I cannot tell from the pics.

[JMD68RSSS]

No they do not cover the taillight area!
