freakshow12 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Hey guys. I am looking for a pre made or for Somone to make me a scale trunk mat for a 70 Mach 1 I am starting. Anything out there? Edited February 12, 2014 by freakshow12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimaxion Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 May I suggest ; The Bottom of the trunk floor is the top of the gas tank . Take the kit chassis , fill the tank area slightly below level . Your method you choose won't be wrong . An slight depression is what you seek around the outside of the tank . I think IIRC these mats are just plain Egg-crate design . It consisted of Gray , Black and white intersection lines forming the design . Form a Template from thin paper . Cut out a mat from cadrstock using your Template . It would be a piece with the pattern printed on prior to this step . White Glue in place when ready after the painting of the sheet metal . Make sure you coat it with a semi gloss clear to seal it when the glue is dry . This will preventing warping from moisture as time passes . Thanx ..

freakshow12 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 The building of the trunk so far is exactally as you described. So far I have seen 3 different trunk mats for. 70! One is like you describe but one is black and the 3 rd that I have seen in 3 cars local to me is a grey with black speckles. Not sure which way I will go yet but I had planned on roughly following the idea you posted. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
