At SEMA last year I had a chance to see Mark Stielow's "Mayhem" Camaro. He did something that I thought was very cool. There was no back seat in the car... and if I remember right he added a panel that went over the top of the trans tunnel all the way across. This created some enclosed space that he utilized for storage.

We were talking about transmission gear ratios and he went back there to retrieve some information. There were hatch doors over the openings with latches if I recall. I thought it was a great idea.

I'd love to but tubs lead to numerous other "wants" and I certainly don't need anymore of those right now!

I hear ya. How about a nice sitting area for Tucker and Rev!! I do like the open hatch ideas!!

Fixed it for ya.

What were those seats out of, GTO?

I like the removable center panel idea, just not certain on what material. Acoustically that 1/8" plywood panel works as it also has a lightweight needle punch carpet on the backside. Firewall wise it's not exactly the ticket. Boeing has a honeycomb structural panel with aluminum bonded on both sides that's cool, but they closed their Kent, WA surplus store down.

I may fir the panel out from the package tray and bring the bottom forward to make a clean seam at the seat pocket panels........need to sit in the car and do some more

Scrap it! I know where you can find a nice Torino capable of holding Tucker and Rev and we could even get Stella and the girls in there too!. Cheap!

Yes, that system is very nice...........little too tall to take Tucker cruising though.

OMG he'd take a dog in his car! Yup, two favorite pastimes are better than one.

Scrap it! That's some of the finest OSB know to man. I asked Tucker about cruising in a Torino and he said "everyone should two Torino's.......one to poop on and another to cover it up with."

Note: The two car line was first used on me and my come-a-dozen Camaro

Where did you see the Torino for sale? I once heard if I have one I need a second one.

So Sieg you bought all those metal working tools and have spent all this time on welding and you are using OSB for your rear seat floor

In your case is the second car a "parts car" or "monumental yard art" or ???

OSB has it's place! Recently I've seen some pretty trick structural joists in commercial applications.......it is also relatively lightweight compared to plywood, though I digress. When properly supported it is a suitable surface to adhere cheap carpet to and test my sophisticated design temporarily then use for future templates. Most importantly in my case..........it was cheap and I had it in stock! After all this is just a dime-a-dozen Chebby not a state-of-the-art Ferd.
