false floors

[Wowimzz 10+ year member]

hey guys, i think im just going to build a false floor today, but i need some guidance. How should i go about doing this? Should i just make a mach up on cardboard and transfer it over to some plywood? This false floor will hopefully keep everything in my trunk in place. im tired of everything sliding, I dont want to put more holes in my trunk, and the wires all loose and free to roam in my trunk.

if you want to make it match up perfectly, cardboard mock up is the right start!

I use loose leaf or plain printer paper to help with some of the contours. Then i transfer that to the card board, so i don't make too many mistakes on the cardboard.

Also helps to use a sheetrock cutter.
