46-48 trunk panels
 

I've started making kick panels, and door panels for my 47 coupe, and it got me wondering how they did the panels for the trunk area? Could I use hardboard or do I need something that needs a little more flex to it? Could I velcro it to the bracing?

I just went through that exercise on my '40 Ford Tudor Sedan. For the trunk panels I first made patterns using large cardboard boxes. Once I had the patterns cut to my liking, I traced them onto 1/8" tempered hardboard. I would recommend cutting them a little oversized and then fit & trim, fit & trim until they fit as desired. After I got them installed into the trunk, I spray painted them a dull satin black before installing the floor mat. Seemed to work well for me - they almost look like the factory made them!

I've been using hardboard on the kick panels. I didn't think that it had that much flexibility.
