Darrell;

 Use the plywood, not the MDF board, actually the original stuff used in trunks for a lining was a type of cardboard called waterboard. MDF will soak up water, swell up, and fall apart, its also as heavy as lead.

Subject: IML: 59 imperial trunk

I am still trying to restore my 59 and for every step forward I'm always 3 steps further back .

 

I was in the truck today sanding and grinding away on some cancer. when I started to think "it's a rare occasion" lol about the inner fenders and I thought I should ask the IML for the answer.

 

the question is , should there be a liner or somthing to prevent items in the truck from banging against the inner fenders?

 

the old and fragile fenders on my car need someting to protect them , if a liner is not a factory item on these cars , what do you think if I were to fabricate one out of MDF plywood and cover it with carpet to match the truck ?
