So Fusick does not carry 4-dr hardtop trunk panels and the shipping surcharge is a little steep anyway. So, I am building my own. My existing panels were pretty beat up, but good enough to make templates from. I found sheets of door panel material at my local uphostery shop for 20 bucks each, needed two sheets. I will probably finish off with the silver trunk carpet I ordered, that is on back order. I cut the back side and reinforced with tape for the folded areas.

 

Nice job

 

It's good you had the old ones to copy from. Came out nice.

 

Finished finally, my goal was "how the factory would have done it".

 

👍

You know, you could have your own little cottage industry doing these, since no one else is.😎

 

Very nice work. I'll soon be following in your footsteps so to speak. I have a 1976 Monte Carlo that has the black cardboard trunk panels in near mint original condition and always wished my 76 442 had them. After seeing this thread, I will soon be making a set for my 442. Great job.

 

Update: building out the rest of the trunk. So, it still has the original brown tar-like insulation underneath the floor pieces. I am leaving all that and making covers that I am glueing to with 3M adhesive. This is the jack side of the trunk so far. I cut 2 pieces like the original wheelhouse covers and my wife is sewing the panels together for me.

 

VERY nice work!

 

I like it!

 

Lookin' good!

 

All done, maintained original padding underneath and seams. Thank God my wife is a seamstress!
