Trunk Divider Dimensions

[dpcd67]

Hey, anyone got a drawing or sketch of a 73 Cuda trunk divider? I hate to pay fifty bucks plus oversize shipping,  for a piece of hardboard,
thanks,

Google images returned a bunch of photos. Here's an example:

Yes, I found hundreds of pictures but zero with dimensions on them. As a last resort I can make one to fit my car but it would be easier to have a drawing to use.
thanks.

I used my old divider as a template on some masonite.  The dimensions for the divider on my Challenger are roughly 51" x 20".

Yes, If I had an old divider to use as a pattern, I would be in good shape, but my cuda did not have one when I bought it.  So, if someone could trace theirs and make me a paper copy, I would greatly appreciate it. And I would, of course, pay for shipping.

Does it really need to be that accurate? You have a picture of the shape, you have the car, get out the measuring tape and have at it...

If you were worried about accuracy, you could just buy one. To be honest, the REM reproductions are not 100% accurate either...

I've got one in the basement that I could make you a paper pattern of.  I believe it was originally from a '72 Challenger but am pretty sure they're all the same. Please just give me a day or two, I've got some other stuff to take care of and it's my older son's birthday tomorrow. I did this once many years ago for someone here (can't remember him) but i think he was happy.

Sorry I didn't chime in on this sooner, like I said, I'm kinda busy with some stuff. If you want, you can PM me your address and I'll let you know when it's in the mail.

[dpcd67]

That would be very kind. I will PM you. There is no hurry since my car is in the paint shop and I told them to keep it for another month at least; it was 22 below this morning and my garage is not heated.  I can work on this while waiting for my car to return. True, I could order one but I can make one too.

Your pattern is on it's way. I forgot to write the thickness down so here it is. My digital caliper said .113, that's between 7/64 & 1/8. Also it doesn't look like cardboard, it's made of something different and denser. Here's a pic before it was traced. Yes the bottom right corner is damaged, I traced what it should be.

Jay you are a scholar and a gentleman; thank you very much. I remember these from the 70s ( I had a new 71 Duster in 71) and they were some sort of hard pressed fiber/paper board.
