Need Pictures of Trunk Areas Nicely Finished and Uncarpeted

Can those of you with a finished and detailed truck area please post some pictures.

My resto hot rod project is painted and ready for reassembly. Esposito did a fantastic job stripping and painting the trunk area. I'm trying to decide how to finish it out, e.g. spare tire (matching Fuch, paint spare, leave out for weight savings), fresh air (cover vs clean and leave open), smuggler's box cover, etc.

Thanks!

That looks nice ... i take it you deleted the filler neck and cumbersome hose as well !
What happens if you get a flat tire,that spare looks like it could be fun to remove

Cheers !

Pretty much just the basics here. Smugglers box cover is converted to lift off rather than hinge. Not sure what, if anything I'll do for a spare.

Removed most of ancillary stuff, smugglers box is empty and I may remove air handling stuff since a/c was removed. Sorry about iPhone picture quality.

This is a really clean look, and exactly what I'm looking for. I assume there's an Odyssey battery in the smuggler's box???

Joe - I'm interested in any detail pics or explanation of exactly how you did the conversion to a lift-off lid...

Thx

Unless folks carry a large amount of stuff in the trunk...not sure why you would need a lid for the smugglers box at all as long as your battery terminals are covered up...? Mine uses the WEVO battery box...
