I can see from your later posts that you have gone with this stuff. Keep a close eye on it as it might be a moisture trap. First sign of rust and I'd be getting rid of it very quickly!

This stuff can also be used to fill in the gaps at the base of the c-pillar. Might need to create a bit of a mold to hold it in place but it will stop a lot of noise coming into the cabin from the boot.

I will look into it. I mainly put it in because I want the trunk floor to extend over those wells, and wrap neatly around the wheel well. I don't want to have 90 degree angles with gaps where the whell well is rounded. If I have a flat surface in those rounded corners, I can attach carpet there too. I imagine, I will quickly find a reason to remove that stuff, but I am still experimenting a bit.

I secured the side to the inner wheel lip with self drilling screws and secureing a 1x3 to the trunk dropoff from the outside by the leaf springs. It sticks far enough up from th edropoff to secure my side plywood to.

There are no screws to secure down my plywood (only at inner wheel lip) and all is held in place by VERY tight plywood cuts. BAsically all wedged together.

Here is a pic or two from the interior of the car looking into the trunk showing plywood butt joints and side covers


EDIT: How do you get pictures within the text? I coul dpost more that way.

I just thought of something after seeing the pics in a previous post. I wanted to extend my trunk to the sides as far as possible, but I think I am going to just close em off where the well starts.

It seams if I have anything loose in the trunk, and it extends to the side, I am just asking for dents in my rear quarter panels.

New line of thinking: I need to not extent it to the body, and make very certain that anything in the trunk is fastened well. I can't believe it is just dawning on me that my modern cars have plenty of plastic and metal before the actual metal car skin for lack of a better word.

The boundries of my trunk are the shell of the car in some spots. Has anyone had a renegade jack go flying around in their trunk and cause dents in the body from the inside out?

The trunk looks sharp, but the use of the Great Stuff isnt a bad idea but i would reccomend the great stuff window and door jam foam, it's in a light blue can. The difference is it's not hard when it sets up, so it doesnt push the door jam out of place and cause the door not to open or shut properly. Its alot better to work with then the orignal great stuff.
