[DeTomaso] rear trunk inner tub

[Brian Dudley]

Hi,
I just completed my front trunk using material from an upholstery shop. They did have the original style carpet but put me off using it because it is difficult to get complex curves looking good. I bought the thinner, speaker grill type, carpet. Not hard wearing but a lot easier to fit, bend, stretch on non flat surfaces. For the front trunk as it was easier to shape I was able to fit in 3 pieces instead of 5. 
My pictures, need some more finishing.

Your mileage may differ. 
Cheers
Brian
