GTV Trunk details & Fuel cell

[dutcher]

Since the tank on my 72 GTV is off having the rust boiled out of it, I started to see if I could tidy up my trunk - taking care of some small patches of rust, etc. The car has had nothing in the trunk - no carpet, no padding, no nothing - since I've owned it. I was curious as to how others have finished out their trunks - especially the area behind the tail lights. I've searched the galleries, but haven't seen any GTV trunk glamor shots.

Also, is a fuel cell a cost effective option for a street Spica car? A friend suggested it, but I feel the plumbing headaches may outweigh the cost of a new tank. (should it come to that).

here's the definitely unglamorous before shot.

I'm pretty partial to the multi-piece stock rubber mats. One piece of which covers the area behind the tail lights.

IMO, switching to a fuel cell in a street car is pointless. I'd also think that the cost of a fuel cell and labor to install and plumb it would far exceed that of just a new fuel tank.

Here are some pictures of the original trunk mats in my '72. They're a little worn but all there. The original trunk carpet is a light grey felt type material - I have it but it's filthy so I use the cheap nylon loop mat you see in the photos.

Nice pics, Joe.

Which, after I saw them, I realized I didn't post a pic with my reponse.
These are the original style black mats in this '67.
