Hi deeb. First let me say I would have never cut the tub myself! When I bought the car back in 1979 the previous owner had already cut out the tub, but never got around to installing the Plexiglas. Instead there was a piece of aluminum pop-riveted to the bottom of the tub. I used the aluminum as a template to shape some 1/8 inch Plexiglas and fiber-glassed it to the tub. It was my first time working with fiberglass so not my finest work, but nobody sees the bottom side. Besides, it has held up for 28 years now! I saved the old aluminum piece and covered it with matching trunk fabric on both sides and lay it on top of the Plexiglas when I want to carry something in the trunk that might scratch the Plexiglas.
