rear seat Reply #1 – November 18, 2005, 03:30:01 PM Mine is out and I'll be using a bit of 1/16" ABS plastic covered with carpeting. I'll have to work mine around cage bars and such. I don't want to go with anything heavier. Quote Selected
rear seat Reply #2 – November 18, 2005, 03:45:55 PM well if you dont have a place around you that sells sheet metal like i do, you can try hardware stores, they might have thin gauge aluminum you can carpet. the back is flat, but how will you do the seat pans? are you going to box it off or just keep it shaped like it is now? and will you be sitting anything on top of it, i have a habbit of tossing stuff in the back seat so you may want something that wount crack if a 5" thick automotive tech book hits it lol.
