One idea is to make a template, out of cardboard or some such (including curves/indentations and such) and then buy the ABS one. When you have the time to work on it, take your time and make it right the first time, according to materials you can find and use etc.. Then when you've got time to put it in, swap them out and sell off the ABS piece here or on eBay to recoup some of your money down the road.

just a thought :thup:

When the wife saw how frustrated I became she said she was sure we could find a few extra bucks in the bill payin money to buy an ABS replacement so I could get on with finishing my truck project. After all, it is my daily driver. And as long as its down we have only one vehicle.
Sounds like you've got a good wife, there! :wink:

Where can I get some of the Jute? I think I would like some for the floor and ceiling as well as the firewall.

Carpet and upholstery stores should sell it by the foot. Some parts stores carry it as well.
The good stuff is real ugly looking kinda like hairy house insulation. But without the fiberglass.
