What is a good material to replace the trunk tray (that piece that is under the trunk carpet) ? Plywood might work, but it will not stand moisture.

I used ply wood (1/2 inch) mainly to give more support for my speaker box. I used the original as a templet and cut the ply to fit. hinged it and reused the carpet.
As for moisture. Seal the ply wood with a water sealer B4 u install it. Thomasons is cheap but not the best (speaking as a professional painter)
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that all secured? I'd really like to see how you did your framework. Especially around the hatch opening. I was going to try and do something like that but I didn't feel like wasting time when I wasn't sure on how I was going to do it so I just cut out some 1/2" plywood using the factory floor as a template so I could mount my battery.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

So yeah to answer the original question, it's secure; it's not screwed to the car, but pressure fit in there. i think i can get it out if i had to, but i don't see why i'd ever need too. unless i scraped the car for cleaner cb7 chassis.Last edited by psyphre; 04-06-2006, 01:49 PM.
