I plan to make one panel with two recesses to fit into the tailgate. I would then attach nets or flat panels to keep contents in place when tailgate is opened. Finish would not have to be perfect as I would cover with speaker cloth. I imagine Fibreglass is the easiest / cheapest / best material for this? Or would it be very heavy? I guess I should use two blocks of foam (sloping sides to make it easy to remove when cured) on a ridgid board to make the mold? How critical is temperature to the process? (winter on the way, no heating in garage) Any advice much appreciated! Attachments IMG_3395.jpg (213 views, 87.00 KB)
