Last but not least... Bulkhead

And this is the rear seat delete! New rolled aluminum bulkhead and package tray from Scott Rod Fab. The pieces lined up fairly well, however mild changes were made. The deck came into two pieces, so for the sake of keeping them straight, I riveted them together instead if to the steel for a few reasons. The pre cut speaker holes left little metal to rivet to, and also the pieces spud under the existing side panels. Secondly, the bulkhead didn't sit completely flush against the metal, so I cut down the lip if the tab on the back to make it sit flat to the rear metal. Otherwise, a few additional measurements and rivets and all was completed. I did pull up all the tar, seat belts and cut unnessary brackets for minimal weight reduction (as I'm building for auto cross. Side note: after weighing debris I pulled out, it was close to 40 lbs) all I need now is a strip of carpet to cover where the rear seat was and I'm Holden! Coming up soon, I'm dabbing a B pillar for harnesses and picking up some buckets! Thanks for looking!

 

I really love the look of the bulkhead - has a "Heavy Metal" look to it

 

Thanks! Looks so much more aggressive than the sweet little maverick that I originally bought!

 

What does something like that cost if you don't mind me asking?

 

I don't mind one bit! I was actually shocked by the level of quality in comparison to the cost of what I got. I got the bulk head (2 pieces) the deck (2 pieces) and two door panels. All that plus shipping was only $325!!!

 

I was expecting to hear that it was much more than that - you got a lot for your money

 

Looks good!

 

What are you going to do with your old interior? It looks to be in really good shape.
