33 Coupe Interior 26        9/18/04

Here you can see the bracket screwed to the floor of the trunk with the hook-and-loop stuck to it. What you see is the protective backing on this side that I need to remove and will be attached to the panel later. 
 

 

 

This is the what it looks like attached to the panel. I can't believe how good this stuff holds once it's in place. I was afraid that it was going to pull the sticky backing off but it held. I need to cover this panel with material but before that happens, I need to cut some holes in it first and also fit the previous panels to make sure everything fits right so I'm gong to wait and cover this later. 
 

 

 

For the other panels, I made some metal brackets and then bonded them to the underside of the trunk. To hold them in place while they were being bonded, I came up with this high-tech clamping system.....duct-tape. It worked great!
 

 

 

This is how it looks and now you can see where I'm going to put the hook-and-loop at. The brackets are thin sheet metal which is .032" thick. I'm able to bend them a small amount to get just the right placement. I'll be working on the rest of the trunk area installing speakers, insulation and final fitting panels so keep on the lookout for that next.
