Trunk material pattern for '65 Skylark and Gran Sport
« on: December 05, 2020, 06:12:24 PM »
This is a pattern for the trunk fabric that was used in a '65 Skylark and Gran Sport.

I made this pattern, working from measurements that gssizzler made from an original he had come across. After a test fitting using paper, I made some refinements to my paper pattern and transferred it to vinyl upholstery fabric. Another test fitting, and a little tweaking gave me a final pattern.
The first three pictures are of the main floor.  The following two pictures are of the trunk area over the rear axle.

 The original material for the '65 Skylark and Gran Sport trunk lining was a woven fabric with a foam backing.

 Many thanks to Jon [gssizzler] for sending me his sketches,

  Loren
