My package tray was disintegrating. This pressboard from Home Depot rough side out looks close enough for the girls I go with.

That's what I did on my Dart for the package tray and rear divider behind the back seat and also the spare tire cover.

When I was a teen I made one for a ‘67 Pontiac Tempest out of a piece of paneling.
For those of us who are too stupid to figure out what you did, can you enlighten us?

I traced out my existing package tray on the smooth side of the pressboard. Cut it out oversized because the original’s edges were curled in. Test fit and trimmed as needed with a cordless jigsaw. When I was happy with the fit I spray painted the whole thing flat black. The rough side is pretty close to the texture of the original.
If your package tray is missing I would suggest you make a cardboard template to your liking and trace off it.

I’m working on the divider right now. Probably going to try it for the missing C pillar panels as well. Yours looks great!
Mine is missing, but we made one from red carpet. It matches pretty good, but it's faded some now. I got a reproduction one, but it did not fit AT ALL. Thanks. I may look into this.

This stuff is only 13 bucks a 4x8 sheet so it’s fairly cheap to experiment with.
Looks like you did a really nice job.
Jeeze! Don’t brag about the price. If Home Depot finds out about this the cost will be triple!

Looks like it would work well for door panels, too.

I just finished doing the exact same thing last month. Looks good. I think I should of spray dyed or sealed the package tray because it keeps fading.
