S197 Trunk Shelf
I seen this in a car at a show one day. I finally found out who makes it. It is a shelf that goes in the trunk between wheel wells. I looks really good and cleans up the looks of the inside of the trunk. The bad thing is it doesn't fit if you have a Shaker 1000 stereo. It is $75 plus shipping from R&A Motorsports. Here is their web site.

Looks nice but you could make one for 1/3 of that cost. 3/4" MDF or particle board and speaker enclosure carpet from any fabric store. A Jig Saw, a cordless screw driver, some Upholstery adhesive and a staple gun.
I used to make custom trunk amp racks and such. Its not that hard. Just have to take some measurements and use a cardboard machup if you're not sure of what you're doing so you don't ruin the MDF or Particle board trying to get it right. Small mistakes will/can be hidden by the carpet.

Oh, yes you could. Actually, I'm quite surprised at the amount of crap I've been able to stuff in our S197 trunk. That included a set of golf clubs with a hand cart, 4 pieces of luggage (1 was mine, 3 were my g/f's... we ALL know how that works) plus all the other garbage we needed to support a 10 day road trip.
My '78 Camaro had less than 1/2 the room. My '66 Pontiac Executive's trunk was cavernous by comparison to either.
