Default ABS Plastic Sheet

Anyone know where you can buy a sheet of ABS plastic? I want to make a new rear package tray to replace the original fiberboard one. I know you can buy them from Mustangs Unlimited, buy they are like $80.

We have TAP plastics on the west coast. They ship as well.

Thanks for the links. Fiberglass isn't a bad idea, I don't know if it would hold up to being taken in and out quite as well. Might be easier to find though.

Do about 4-6 layers of it and it should hold. Or take some thin plywood and cover it with fiberglass.

i made my old one out of that dark brown...pegboard material (without the holes), then cut 2 holes for speakers and covered it with grill cloth. that way you can have speakers without the ugly metal grills sticking up.

You just wrapped the cloth over the speakers and package tray all with one sheet? Do you have any pictures?

Most hobby or craft places should carry it or even a big home improvement store.

Upholstery shops definitely have it. Even fabric stores would have something that would work.
