Robertopz1 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hey B210'ers I've been working on my Datsun for about half a year now and it's been a slow process getting her ready. I already fixed all engine problems and now I'm working on the interior. Here's where I need help; I need help replacing the deck that's behind the rear seats. I've been talking to Carwson and he's helped me out a lot but we're both not sure what the damn thing is called. Furthermore, I've asked around AND looked around and it doesn't seem like I'll be finding a replica of this any time soon. What's been suggested of me is to find somewhere that specializes in making duplicates out of other materials which is a route I'd be willing to go. So what I'm asking is: What do you call this? Where can I buy one? Is there a company that specializes in making them? I live in the Los Angeles area but I'm sure with the internet, they can ship anywhere. Any advice would be very helpful. P.S. is it cheesy to give her a name that begins with the letter D? I was thinking Darla Quote Link to comment

Will Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I had one that was in rough shape that fixed up pretty nicely. It is essentially thick cardboard, so I used some wood glue, wood putty, and paint to fix it up. You can even glue in some thick (non-corrugated) cardboard to make patches for the speaker holes and broken edge if you want. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 just make a new one the original crap is very fragile make it our of some plywood it may take a while to look perfect but it will last a shit ton longer and be alot more durable and once covered in carpet it will even look better Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Mine was similar to yours. So I did what Will, but instead of painting it I upholstered them (Cover them up) with that speaker material. I think it came out pretty good. Reinforced the areas that are broken or weak with cardboard and wood glue. Here are some pics [url=http://s135.photobucket.com/user/sierra_edgar/media/Datsun%20Parts/3892C80D-85B2-4A69-98FF-56DB3B52C2FB_zpskohuynsk.jpg.html] Quote Link to comment

How sturdy is it? Does it fall apart easily? Are there random groves throughout? How much? Quote Link to comment
