I started documenting the 1969 Trunk Liner, factory original........
Not as simple as it initially appears! Curved cuts, multiple fold points, multiple angles, holes......... Sheesh!
Anyway, some photos........... It's a spare moment work in progress!

Much appreciated DJ,
You're right, it looks a lot simpler than it is.
A bunch of us needed to see these pics. Maybe I'll just spend the hunny and buy one.
I just wish they made them out of something better than that cardboard.

The more I touch this 35 year old chunk of dried out cardboard, the more fragile it becomes!
It is literally falling apart like an ancient Dead Sea Scroll!
Traced onto cardboard........ I need to piece on the front area that folds down by the spare tire.......

LOL, Dead Sea Scroll - Yep, that's why there's GOT to be a better material
we can make these with, maybe even make it with something to soundproof
a little since every little bit helps ?

Well, I've got the template now. Trace this onto some butcher paper, roll it up into a mailing tube....... Whoosh! Gone!
Any takers?
Pay postage and supplies.......
Dave |
I'm in Brother, pm me the cost and I'll mail or paypal you the scratch.
I really appreciate this and I'm sure others will too.
I think I'm going to use 1/8" Black Corroplastic with some non-flammable
sound backing of some sort for mine.

| Dave- I would love to have a trace of the trace too. I'm afraid you may have a lot of takers so maybe an option is to take a tracing to a local copy or print shop and have several full-size copies made. I am more than happy to pay for costs plus whatever you think is fair for your time, as I'm sure everybody else is. Thanks so much. Adam |

Or, if you can post the tracing as a .pdf, people could download it and use the "poster" option in Adobe Reader to print it out on multiple sheets of paper and tape it together.

I have access to a large-scale scanner so if I get a copy of the tracing, I can post it as a pdf.

Ha!
You've just exceeded my Old Fart Geeky Computer capabilities! :)

I once heard an older person (a writer who wrote in long-hand) say that he was a "digital immigrant". Me too, I'm afraid. But I'd like a copy of your template too, please. Pay by Paypal?
