The pics should give you a good idea what needs to be done. Find you a good sheetmetal guy to fab something up for you.

It's a Wolfe bulkhead, they sell them to fit with or without the panels.

They work great and you can modify them a little to make them work.. i rivited and hinged into the back so you can flip it forward and back if need be..

Only draw back is when the sun shines on it, its bright as hell and makes it hard to see out the back of the car..

Why not just paint the top side flat black or cover it with carpeting, you can always flip it ofreward to show it's metal or is there an nhra rule against it?

Sorry to Hijack, and bring up the old post... But will the Wolfe rear bulkhead work in lieu of a battery box for relocated batteries?

i believe so since it does separate the battery from the drivers compartment.
