how do you build a box inside a trunk?

[wesl56 10+ year member]

just wondering, cause i dont even see how this would be possible.. like how do you screw it together? or do you just use glue? i havent seen any pics on here of anyone assembling a box inside of a trunk and really dont see how it would be possible, unless u have a huge *** trunk or are building a small *** box... idk someone share? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

dont even know what the hell your talking about

are you talking about Clean installs? Installs made to look more factory? You dont "build" it in the trunk. You measure, build the box, put it in the trunk, measure, model out the walls and amp racks with cardboard if you want. Cut your wood to match the model, install.

Some boxes are actually built int he trunk using some fiberglass resin to hold the pieces together, also it doesn't hurt to hit the whole inside of the box w/ a layer of resin. I believe is how it's done. Also, i think he is talking about building something similar to this.

haha no i mean like... i guess rather than building the box and then putting it inside the trunk, actually putting it together inside the trunk... idk i've just heard people talk about this before maybe i wasnt understanding correctly

if you can get a drill/screwdriver in there to put the screws in, then go right ahead. or just fiberglass the pieces together like mentioned before. or both if you can

I think he means that the box is too big to fit in the opening of the trunk so it has to be asembled inside the trunk...

Do you mean building a WALL? becuase usually when people build walls, they usually HAVE TO assemble the WALL inside the vehicle.

guys listen to what he is saying. he wantes to build a box while its in the trunk, its just like building a box out side of the trunk. just a little more harder.

naw im not actually doing it...

just saying, seeing as my trunk is only just over 15" high i dont see how in the hell i could get at it to screw it together...

so i take it no one has done this and its prolly impossible unless you have a massive trunk and are building a small box, which in that case you could prolly just stick it in through the trunk opening... lol

when i get home i'll post pics if i remember of my build, i used glue and an air nail gun to put my box together for the most part. it was a 6 cube box, so it wasnt small but not huge.

the top was my last piece so i was able to let usea carpenters square to insure everything was perfect before putting the top on

For large boxes in small trunks, it's pretty much necessary to do the final assembly inside the trunk. It requires a lot more planning than building the box outside the car and then just sticking it in the trunk, but once you've figured out how to hold it together with fasteners that you can reach and done some basic preassembly outside the car, it isn't that much harder to actually do.
