[QUOTE="wcriot, post: 8523599, member: 634194"] Hey guys I'd like some help and pointers for building an entire false trunk for my 1954 Chevy 210. The car is built as a custom, full air ride suspension, Corvette engine etc. I started to play around with making a false trunk and want some advice on how to proceed. As you can see i decided to make the false trunk floor in sections. First image is the driver side.Here i will mount the air compressors which will reduce the noise from those little guys vibrating on the metal trunk floor.
