Opinions on my box cover idea......

[Nova_Cobra64]

Well, basically I am a penny pincher, and at the same time wanted to do something about the hideous box cover the PO put on my truck. I also don't want to drill holes.

So I got to measuring the tonneau cover that I had on my 1980 beater and found that it is nearly 4" wider and 2" longer than my 69's box. My first thought was taking it to an upholstery shop and having velcro stiched on, but then I considered that it would sag like it did on the 80 with the snaps.

So here is my current idea:

Put two sheets of plywood together and cut them so I it will leave 1" of the top of the box exposed all the way around. Router the edges, and then cover it with the tonneau cover from the 80 and attach it with hinges and shocks like for hoods and hatches.

Do you guys think this would be a decent idea or will it look dumb.

I'll see if I can find a pic of the PO's "conCRAPtion".
