Blazer Utility Interior Panels?

Has anyone made storage spots with their rear interior panels? I am thinking of cutting out and making a couple of small storage spots on panels so that people in the rear seat can open them up and have access to some storage for their crap. Has anyone done this before and has pictures? I know there are a lot of people with nice interior panels with cuts made for subs/amps or have made hangers for fire extinguishers/ flashlights, but has anyone made small cabinet like storage cut outs? Maybe I am crazy.

I was going to make some in my panels when i get to them. Im a finish carpenter and cabinet maker and I think it would be really simple and cool to do. Since only 2 of us came up with it, I think "BRILLIANT" is the word LOL

Re: Blazer Utility Interior Panels?

Thats been a plan of mine for a while. Just working out the details in my head. I am going to make compartments above the top of the fender, and tool boxes below that blend in with the panel, and are removable. This is for my DD wheeling Blazer so I will make it out of checker plate.

Off topic but I gotta take a time out to share this story...

When I was rebuilding the '71, I replaced the driver's seat with a salvage unit. The seat I found still had the back screwed on.

When I pulled the back off, it exposed a fairly good sized "hollow" in the seat foam. The wife was with me in the garage when I was taking it apart and I commented "sure looks like this seat has crossed the border a few times...".

A few minutes later when I pulled off the old upholstery I heard a coin drop on the concrete. Sure enough, a five centavo Mexican coin from the 70s!!

OK... back to work...
