Some good advice and ideas, thank you! Think I will try and find a trim shop this summer and see if I can get a carpet insert made for the "bare" trunk. The air pump and tow hook can be stored in the car and the tire sealant cylinder can be velcro'd into the "new" trunk somewhere. The raw metal underneath the existing foam insert can be sprayed with "Rino liner" or something, and with the carpet over it the little sucker should be almost the size of the trunk in a '70's LTD!#? Now all I need is a place in Florida and a 30 year old blond with poor eyesight!#$%
