Default Trunk customization question

Ok guys, i've tried tons of magazines and different "interior customization" books and found NOTHING!

I was wondering, how the heck do you build a boxed in interior to the trunk? How do the panels hold upright? i know it cant be velcro and it would be hard to drill holes in the sheet metal... how the heck is that done?

There are many ways you could do it, but the easiest method would be to attach some light gage angle to the top and bottom of the area, then attach your panels to that.

To install panel in your truck another way is to use a wood call luan 1/8 in cut the shape you want then mount them on the truck panel with screw after cover them with the matreial.
