Re: Better kickpods in 60-66 Trucks

The first step here is to decide whether you want to use a wood backplate for the pod or make one out of fleececloth. (Notice - I did not say chop mat!) Chop mat is way old school and a mess to work with...fibers get in your clothing and skin and itch...

In my build, because the panel is virtually flat, I decided to use 3/8" fiberboard as my backplate. Here you can see me using a piece of cardboard to sketch up my backplate template. Once you get this to a shape you want, then transfer it to the 3/8" MDF and cut with a jigsaw. Here you can see the backplate as I am mocking everything up...
