I decided some time ago that I didn't like the trunk floor. I previously removed the spare tire well and filled it but the entire panel was a bit floppy with no factory gas tank supporting it, plus it wasn't symmetrical.

This is a big panel and making it was a bit more challenging than I expected. I made about 5 of these things and this is the only one that didn't end up in the dumpster.

I also made hat channels on the mag brake for some extra support.

Before and after-

Looks fantastic! Any chance you've gotten your new wheels back from chrome yet?

Absolutely love this build.

The other one still wouldn't flatten out? This looks good, too.
