gotta good trunk idea...

[MessyHonda]

wow that is cool....i can still do it to my car since the wood is uncut.

[RamThis]

i like that foam thingy idea, thats pretty clever

You can shadowbox your toolbox drawers too. We did that at Lockheed, all tools were controlled and shadowed, so that if one was missing, we could tell exactly which tool it was, and stop the assembly of the aircraft until it was found to make sure it was not FOD'ed.

Makes keeping up with your personal tools at home alot easier too. Easier way to do it is to find some thinner sheets, about an inch thick, cut all the way through one layer for your shadow, and glue it to a solid sheet, leaves nice clean bottoms to the shadow pockets.

thats not a bad idea. tomorrow i'm going to get cardboard and start making rough dimensions for the trunk. i have a 4dr sedan if the sizes of the trunks are different than the hatches

[nskforlife]

i got the cardboard cut, but its not cut using detail. mosquitoes are bad tonight , so i'm gonna have it done tomorrow.

i used that real thin cardboard that comes on forklift pallets. if i screw up on it i'm gonna use rosin paper, then transfer it to the thin pallet cardboard. i'm not gonna use regular cardboard cause it is typically hard to make a curve on cardboard without taking your precious time, and by that time i'd be eaten alive by mosquitoes. so ya.

damn that looks so freakin' nice... really clean, i'm going to have to add that to my list of mods to do, i really like the foam idea, NOTHING IN thiS WORLD pisses me off then when i'm going around a corner and shit's rolling around... i have more then enough good reasons to hate this shit too... one i broke a bunch of mugs that were rolling around in the van, and i have dents from the inside of my trunk out from my sub box rolling around. so yeah, what ever i can do to get some cleanliness is good. and i really like this.

Check your trunk seal, if it was that wet, something is leaking somewhere.....

Might even get someone in the car with the back seats down and the carpet removed, give them a flashlight, and hit the rear of the car from different angles with a pressure washer blast and watch for leaks.

ya i know water is geting in there when i took the donut tire out it was full of rust and there is some light rust in the trunk pan but nothing magor no holes or anything .
but it is a new york car and then a alaska car and then a new jersy car and then a yosemite car so it has bean in alot of wet places

[snoopyloopy]

oh, i love that idea. i've been meaning to get one out the jy but if i can make one this cheaply, i think i'll do it. mine got raped in the back part right in the middle so my trunk looks like a pile of junk.

[sinisterfuzzy]

would that be pretty easy to take in and out because that stuff would be pretty heavy and deffinately not your friend on race nights...

[HondaBoy]

ok, here's the trunk floor piece that i'm talking about. dunno if y'alls cars came with it but mine did and it works ok aside from that i have no plastic panels in my trunk and no carpet anymore since i just have my sub in there. later on i may think about making some panels and clean my trunk up.

[RamThis]

That doesn't look stock, looks like a flourescent light cover from a suspension ceiling.......

[mkymonkey]

ive actually seen many of those type of floors at the jy's. though mine was the gay cardboard one.

[MessyHonda]

yeah my dx came with thoes cardboard one...i have to check wut my Lx-i came with.....it could be like a japanese/american thing

[Pico]

My LXI is cardboard too

[MessyHonda]

My LXI is cardboard too

let me go check now...then....

just went out...a cop was in the middle of my street?...weird...anyways ints carboard....i may be right about the japanese/american thing

[sinisterfuzzy]

My LX features a warped piece of carbboard...

[HondaBoy]

if it helps my car was a japanese imported one, not ohio built.

[Gemini2003]

Yeah I had a peice of MDF going on in the back and it looked Hella Gehtto.. this guy did it right an I'll definitly going to be cleaning up my trunk like this aswell :-) I love having a shop :-)

[BITESIZE]

Mine.....

[nskforlife]

thats Real NICE!!! But not as functional as i want my car to be. i want to seat 4 comfortably. lol

[nskforlife]

k, i made a layout of the trunk board using rosin paper. i should have it in and functioning within a month.

[nskforlife]

i'm still working on the trunk board, i used a dremel xps400 for making the initial cuts, and i'm using a da sander to make it line up with the car, i made the board about 4 inches bigger on each side and i'm gonna sand it down to fit,
a little piece of foreknowledge: the dremel takes Foooorrreeeevveeeerrrr to jigsaw through 3/4 mdf board. i would've went thinner but lowes only carries 3/4 mdf. and i'm gonna be working on da sanding down the wood tomorrow. i dont have a digital camera, but i'll try to get a friends to show the cuts and what i did... wish me luck.

[jschatte]

i think it would be a better idea to use a jigsaw or a curcular saw to make the intial cuts (thats waht i used for mine) but if you dont have either of those, GIVE ER!

[nskforlife]

lol ya, my dremel doesn't work anymore, it died on the last piece. pos, i'm gonna call dremel to see if they'll replace it since i know it came with a warranty, but ya, i got the 1st piece cut that lays in the back of the trunk. it fits mostly flush. i'm gonna add sound deadener to the bottom of it once i'm all finished so itll be flush and wont move one bit. but ya, jigsaw is on my x-mas list so i better get one!!!! haha i'll post pics once i get my pictures from my buddies camera.
