Default Rear seat delete?

Hey guys, I am toying with the idea of ditching the rear seats in my 68 Nova. Who has pics of a rear seat delete that looked good? I am referring to carpeting all the way to the back and some custom metal paneling between the interior and trunk space. Please share pics for insperation. Thanks, SS.

Here is the rear seat area of my Camaro. I just had it covered in carpet which changed the whole look. I wish I would have done it years ago.

I like Jeff's above, but here is mine for a fully carpeted option.

The seats I have would need to be recovered. The car I have even has radio delete. I kinda like the "less is more look" when it comes to hot rods.

Thanks for sharing guys.
Jeez, Van B and Flash68's both look cool.
Flash, where did you get carpet that went all the way to the trunk? I think the repop stuff bearly gets under the rear seat if I am correct.

Does anyone know if there is a minimum thickness for the panel that separates the trunk from the interior? I think I read somewhere that if you have a fuel cell in the trunk there has to be a steel or aluminum panel there. I never heard about a minimum thickness for that. I don't plan on a fuel cell but maybe a battery and possibly a fuel pump back there.
