Package Tray Ideas????

[55 Fargo]

Hi All, need to make a package tray for my 47 Chrysler Club Coupe.

Was thinking of making a pattern, then cutting out either cardboard backerboard, or corroplast, then covering with 1/4 inch foam, and then vinyl or cloth.

I know some of the members have purchased there package trays ready-made, does anyone know how much they are to buy....Thanx Fred

Fred I think when new they were plain just like the kick panels.

I think my original was a woven paper-like material. Very coarse.

I replaced it with exactly what you described, cardboard, 1/4" foam and extra seat material. Stitch it down along the fold so it lays flat.

Thats true Ed, as I had an old one around here that was from a sedan. I think I like the covered in cloth or vinyl approach, as I am not a purist, nor is my car.

However, if the ready made ones are not too expensive, then maybe thats what she will get....Fred

Fred, you should install a rear seat speaker in the tray and use one of

these nifty speaker grilles.......

Only $31.50 from Wirth's Custom Automotive.

Hi Andy, according to Canada Post, parcels from Oz sometimes get here faster than from the States. That is hard to believe as we are right next to eachother.....Fred

Best I've ever had was the Edgy Finned head, it was sent from Earl Edgerton in Ca. USA and took 4 days from sent to arrival here in country NSW, Australia.......and as it was trackable I was able to watch it leave L.A., fly across the pond, land in Sydney, get sent up to the country delivery centre, then arrive at my local post office and be delivered to me by about 10am in the morning.......its a small world.............andyd

Also not being a purist, I used 1/4 inch luan, and covered it with vinyl for the package tray on my 1940 Business coupe
