Thread: Followed Me Home, '33 Build

With the cab panels done, ready for carpeting to set the base height I jumped to the trunk. I went back to Lynn's (RumRumm) post and studied his method, and even e-mailed him to bounce around ideas. I wanted all panels to be removable, so they could be upholstered out of the car, and then secured, but a one-piece panel for the back of the trunk cannot fit into place. I finally came up with an approach, and made a pair of supports that attach to the gas tank flange, then made a lattice structure that attaches to the end supports. Two panels fit onto those, then it was a matter of making patterns for the sides, and cutting everything out of luan. Here's a few shots of the process.
