I cut it in a way to wrap around the down bars, the package tray is three pieces held down by the speakers screws and since it is cut pile the seams disappear/blend together. 7843553-066.JPG (55 downloads) Exceptional Architectural, Yacht and Automotive scale models. e-mail modelmakerinc@att.net for a portfolio review. www.modelmakerinc.com

Cover it with some kind of short pile carpet, vinyl, etc. http://www.amazon.com/ABS-Plastic-Sheet-Thick-Thickness/dp/B004UBUX5C Either way, not looking forward to it. 383, Hemi 4-Speed, AlterKtion, D60

If the battery and/or fuel cell is located in the trunk area, then yes, the bulkhead must be sealed with a min of .032" alum. If using the stock, unaltered fuel tank and the battery remains in the stock (up front) location, then it can be left open. Brian

Yes, and if you do steel, I think it has to be .016" thick. Fastest 300
