[wesl56 10+ year member]

im not really sure how to explain this, but what do you guys that have replaced your stock trunk floor use as a base? i need something really thin, like

i even thought about maybe using a sheet of stiff foam to help with sound deadening but idk...

1/4" ply if you have the room

Yep...

You'll probably have to make 2 pieces to get it in, but it'll work fine.

You can use the trunk carpet as a pattern for it too. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hmm any other ideas? like i said ill have to measure. but i know there sure isnt a whole lot of room height-wise...

how would i go about making just a flat piece of fiberglass?can i just cover a flat piece of mdf and lay resin/mat on it? hmm

or do they make plexi that thin??

hardboard will work i believe

Fiberglass isnt real strong on big flat areas, and Im not sure you would want to mess with 1/8in MDF even if they make it, it would be like cardboard, your best bet is going to be what TeamPSI said ^^^ and Flipx99

Have you thought about using 1/8" plexiglass?

 

[vetkilr 10+ year member]

Id use a hardwood like sandply or something as such.

That is about the slowest mustang build Ive seen since........................well mine.

Masonite.

second vote for masonite here!

maybe even get a piece of masonite with the linoleum surface, may help it not flex so much...

 

[wesl56 10+ year member]

wtf is masonite?

so if i just roll up in the hardware store and say i need a sheet of "hardwood" they wont look at me like a noob? lol i assume it comes in sheets?
