don't buy one, make it. Its really easy and give you the option to customize it and personalize it..

The lower section(the round grey area with the mustang logo) is hinged, below it I store a boat load of tools and extra crap as well as the EQ/X-over for my stereo. Behind the lit PG logo will be going one of their limited edition amps shortly.....

Something simple cost about $20...

I wanted to put it in a way i could pull it out quickly if i wanted it out. Bottom lifts up to hide things.

what kind of fabric did you use adam? And did you just use plywood?

Materials Needed For Vert Delete
Our back seat is smaller so you need less wood.

(2) 2' x 4' 1/4'' MDF Wood
(1) Can of Spray adhesive
(1) Pack of Arrow T50 1/4'' staples
(1) 5ft long piece of sub box carpeting (sold on a 4ft roll)
(1) Pack of 4 small L brackets
(1) Pack of short Machine Screws / Washers / Nuts
(2) Large Peices of Cardboard
(1) Roll of Tape


Tools
Standard Arrow T50 Hand Stapler
Electric Jig Saw
Drill With Bit the same size as your machine Screws
Scissors
Sharpie Marker
Standard Compass

First you cut your templates out of cardboard and trace them on to the MDF Dont have any pics of this sorry...

My grandfather actually showed me a trick he uses for flooring. Take the flat piece of cardboard and but it up against the interior panel Run the metal compass point along the panel and let the pencil trace the shape on the cardboard. Cut it out and you have a perfect template.

Trace the template on to the MDF

Then you cut out the mdf

Lay the mdf flat on the carpet section

Spray the side to be carpeted with the adhesive:

Pull carpet over and stretch tight

Be sure to rub the carpet flat with no wrinkles.

Flip it over and pull hard on the carpet and start to staple:

Trim off Excess

Fold in the corners neatly:

Staple Secure:

Trim Excess:

Bottom Finished:

I then Drilled holes to attach the L brackets to the seat back with flat head machine screws. I attached the L brackets Then i covered it with carpet so you couldnt see them... Its been finished but i didnt take a pic of it yet. Didnt think anyone would be interested.


the 1/4'' MDF keeps it light. I used a lint roller to clean all the leaves off of it. It was just to nice to sit inside... If my g/f would come watch me do these things more often id actually make a full write up on something.


Now that i picked up a pneumatic stapler this will be so much easier. I was considering doing a coupe next.
