I have a 1960 spatz and currently have a padded seat in it but looking for ideas to fill the space.Seems like a waste of space since no one can actually ride back there.Any pics of ideas? Thanks and let's see what you got!!

Do you mean you have a Spatz on a 60 VW chassis?

Lots of variants on the storage box idea. Here's a cheaper alternative:

I plan to have a rear seat cushion set made that can be velcroed in place and then a box for trips like what Bud has.

Actually my dad will make the box. I can do just about anything with metal but am a total lose with wood. Didn't get that gene. (Or the sailing one which is a big disappointment to the family since I come from a line of boat builders and fisherman.)

Do you have the blueprints for that still? And, does it come out? I like Louis' idea with the removable seat and box
