Here you go, like I said it’s not much but it should be a good starting point. These measurements worked for me but might not for you. The template is made with corrugated plastic (Home Depot). I’m glad I went the template route. Measurements did change after fitting the template.
The base is 3/4” birch and back, sides and fronts is 1/2”.

You can picture the base template before I cut it up to make the back template.

Pink sticky notes are the final measurements I used. Note: if you’re long legged or roll with the seat all the back you’ll need to modify the depth measurement on the base.
If you have any questions let me know. Enjoy guys and good luck with your project!

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you very much! Template is a great idea.

 

Many thanks!!! Really fantastic build. I can't express how much I appreciate your sharing of info/know-how.

 

Incredible craftsmanship! WOW!!!

 

Still some work to do but this has been quite a journey of folly (I'm a hack) and I'm thankful for everybody's smart input in this thread.

Let's see:
splintered ends,
misdrilled holes,
sanded clear coat,
numerous bolt containers raided,
rained on (in Utah no less),
and warm beer (no longer!)

Carpet, sound deadener, square bracket holes and storage solutions (?) up next.

 

You made it and it looks like it’s totally working for you. Great job!
What fridge are you running?

 

Thanks.
That's a new to me

RCRcer incredible work! What is the coating you used, it looks glossier than linex? Thanks

incredible DIY liner. This was my first time using the product. Final texture is determined by you (rolling). Definitely a learning curve. I’ll do better with it the next time.

 

For the people who removed the 60% side back support on a 3rd gen, have you found a way to quiet the vents below the rear window? Once you installed the back wall, did the noise mostly go away?

 

Thanks!

 

I did drive around a bit with the back panel off and it was noticeable. I think the back panel did improve the noise a little.

 

Put your AC on recycle and the flappers will stay closed. Surprisingly a big difference.

 

I actually put this at the beginning of my response, but decided to delete it since it's not really a permanent solution haha

 

2nd gen isn't wildly different, even matting the wall and the panel didn't make it as quite as with the seat

 

@will_smith : Try this. I did it on my AC, and it really decreased the noise. It's down at Post 95

"1/8” open cell foam"

Interesting.

 

Thanks to all for the inspiration! Back up a few pics to see the progression...aluminum frame, birch platmform, noico and home depot industrial mat...
