my idea involving carboard and tuck tape, complete with pics

[Insomniac119 10+ year member]

I was worried that the box I was about to build wouldn't fit into my trunk, so I made a prototype, in a way, out of cardboard and duck tape. I cut out the peices to the outside dimentions of the box plans and taped them together. The pics:

all finished, it's huge!:

So the box doesn't fit, I guess I'll have to figure something out. At least my idea worked and saved me lots of time and wood.

it wont fit lemans look at it. even if his rear seats go down it still wont fit, the front and back will hit the seats, that thing is huge

LOL that shiz is hilarious but a smart way to do. i never would thought about that kind of idea. lol nice one.

Yeah, there's no way it's fitting. Even if I could take out the seats, the wheel wells would be in the way.

You know who to call for that...

Seriously, what about F/G? A 'glassed enclosure would allow you to get the most out of the available airspace...

no, you are the master of caulk.

That duct tape and cardboard idea was quite good... saved you a lot of time. I had a problem similar to that trying to fit a L5 15 in a slot ported box into the trunk of my friends 2001 volvo S40
