Trunk Rear seat divider

[forfamily]

I have a 68 coupe that I am looking at adding the steel plate between the trunk and rear seat.

It looks like there are a couple kits out there. Anybody who has done this have suggestions?

Thanks!

provides the same protection as a rear seat divider and strengthens up your trunk floor

That is pretty nice, plus it keeps the car more "orginal".

Hmm, it is quite a bit more though then the seat divider though.

I put one in a 66. Its really going to do much in the event of a catastrophice rear end collision as the fuel can still slosh over the wheel wells and other location, but it might stop some of it.

You are talking about the seat divider (vs the tank cover/armor) then?

How was the installation on it?

that's pretty smart. as for the seat divider I was going to make one out of aluminum. Steel seems a bit overkill and heavy, unless you go really thin on it.

don't buy a kit in either case, make your own. A sheetmetal shop should be able to help.

I got mine from American Pony for around $80. It fit right in.

When I put the sound deadening kit in there was a section that is supposed to go from the back seat floor area and extend into the the trunk.
Instead, I fastened the heavy material to the steel divider with plastic push in "Chistmas Trees". It makes a big dfference in road noise.

Was the sound deadening kit part of a bigger kit or were you able to find one just for the rear seat?

I have a page on my cardomain on the install into a 67. Hope that helps.

You can do this yourself and save a ton of money. Mine is nothing more than a sheet of aluminum cut to size and fastened.

I'd like to mention again, the benefit of tankarmor is that it protects the floor of your trunk which is the gas tank. If you are like me and put a lot of **** in your trunk (daily driver) then that should be something you consider.
