JohnL71RS’s Project restart…..

2 minute(s) of a 140 minute read

I know my post lately are about my trunk enclosure, but I couldn’t find any details on how to do this on other sites. Plus, it’s on a Camaro. I was able to get some work in this weekend even though the hurricane came on bye. It didn’t pass too far from me, but the rain and winds weren’t that bad on the west side of the storm, so I got a little wind and lite rain.


So, I cut out all the inner sides of the channel I used for stiffeners and backing of the grills. It doesn’t sound that bad, but it took many hours and patience. Here are some pics.

Later on that night, my friend came over and wired up the flat EQ and new radio.


Sunday was devoted to making all the clips to hold in the panels and brackets for the sub-woofer box. I then finished trimming in all the panels. Next, I had to epoxy all the clips, bolts and brackets to the floor of the trunk. I really need to keep the sub box bolted in tight. The panels will all be held in with Velcro on aluminum clips or cut angle.


Then it was time to cut out the holes for the radio and flat EQ in the section on the center console. This panel will be covered in leather later. These holes had to be cut as tight as possible. Once I got the holes cut and trimmed in, I epoxy’ d the radio bracket to the aluminum panel and epoxy’ d in all the brackets and clips. Slowly I am getting all this done. I will probably pickup a new sheet of 1/8” aluminum this week so I can cut out my grill covers. Here is a pic of the console with the radio and eq.

Thanks for checking out my progress.
