Aussie VC 67 Dodge ute
the sides are to be fibre glassed to give some more shape....I Hot glue a piece of 6mm x 12mm MDF to the side and fill in with 12mm polyurethane sheeting, again Hot glued in place
it is then cut with a hack saw blade to make a bevel to the sides...it is then sanded to shape...the product is very soft so sands easily

many days went into constuction, then more than a day to cover it, and every measurement had to be to the milimetre, ...so that's how we get to $3,800!
with this and the pockets on the doors I have quadrupled the storage in my ute!
