I'm assuming from the picture that you're fiberglassing the vertical parts of the trunk area that are currently carpeted. It looks like the framework you've pictured is a fair distance from the "walls" of the trunk, and I wonder why you're eating up that much space.

Is this car only used for shows and just cruising around? Seems like you're eliminating a lot of room in there...

well first project was basically replicas of 4080 boxes... including messing up i think around 3 (made an extra mold... painted and striped the paint about 3 times on each box.... a lot of trial and error...) right now im just making skins to cover the rest and a new false floor+ MP3 rack
