Since the rear seats are worthless, I decided to install a package shelf to replace the seats. I bought some Stinger OEM material, prototyped the parts with cardboard, then traced them onto 1/2" plywood, cut out the 2 panels, then glued & screwed them together. Notice that I removed the rear seat belts.


Then I glued & stapled the carpet to the frames. I cut out speaker holes for future subwoofers.


One to go.


Bottom panels are done, now I need to fill in that gap by the convertible top boot.


I used the existing seat belt mount and built a set brackets from a pair of curtain rod brackets I had laying around.


Next I made an upper fill panel from 1/8" hardboard and covered it with the carpet. I added a brace to keep it straight.


Job completed. It looks great. The carpet is a perfect match.


More views, now it is the perfect grocery getter. This car hauls in more ways than one.








I have since added a coupe deck mat to give it a finished look.

 

I think that looks really great on that Vert, nice job!!!

Nice job, I like it a lot. May consider doing that myself.

 

That look sweet, never seen that before.

 

Great job. Also, a great place to put some subs.

 

Looks good....

 

That looks great. I was just looking at mine today thinking I needed something to fill the void. May I ask what the holes are for?

 

Silly question....... but where'd ya get the matching carpet? Looks like a mod I'd like to do in the near future.

 

Looks great man.

 

98 camaro ss, 6 spd conv, 31k, bought used, w/17k, how can I tell if Mine has a performance chip, where is the computer, I assume in 98, the chip had to be replaced for performance tune, is this correct?

thanks for your input.

 

That looks tight dude, nice work

 

Thanks for all the nice comments. I got the carpet at Sound Domain, Stinger carpet in Cinder color to match ebony interior. The entire job took about 8 hours, but I was taking my time, trying to get it perfect.
Hey BluBeast, long time , no hear, hope all is well with you.
I may add 2 subwoofers, but my cars exhaust sounds so good now, I never turn on the stereo.
