Where can I find a ABS panel for the area behind the seat

I have relocated my gas tank and would like to find someone that makes a contoured ABS panel that covers the old gas tank area so I can have it upholstered.
Thanks for the help

That was pretty much my plan too, to use plywood or Masonite to make a cover for the area where my tank used to be. Back there I plan on having a storage organizer so I can put some tools or whatever back there

Re: Where can I find a ABS panel for the area behind the seat

I believe Rod Doors may have at one time made a formed panel for behind the seats, but they’ve been out of business for at least a couple of years. I’m not aware of anyone else ever producing a custom panel for this area. I just picked up some ABS from the local plastic supplier and upholstered it in 3 sections. I used ¼” because of the size, and the seam are hidden by the seats.

Here are the 3 pieces of foam that went over the ABS, showing the overall shape:



The finished center panel:



And everything installed:
