[6pack] Rear bulkhead panel

[Robert Lang]

Hi,

I have made metal panels for that area, but not attached upholstery to 
them. Of course my reasons differ in that I play with race cars and my 
rules book tells me that I have to use metal there.

But there are interior kits out there that use thin marine plywood and 
that would be a very good choice. I think I just saw these kits in the 
Moss catalog.

The problem with using metal in that are is that the body twists 
underloads and I've had to resort to steel rivets to hold the panel in 
because the aluminum rivs kepts shearing off... you  know, chuck the car 
into a corner and then a boing noise coming from behind you. Not exactly 
confidence inspiring.

regards,
rml
