Default Need Rear Compartment Insulation Pics

I am finally installing Reflectix insulation in the rear compartment of my '70 coupe. When I removed my old stuff, I didn't bother to take pics, because at the time I didn't think they would help ... 'Wrong'!

I'm now working around the area of the rear compartments, and am concerned about how the compartment frame will fit if I get too much insulation under the carpet in this area.

Does anyone have pics of their install in this particular area?

Thanks for your help.

My frame is snug, especially on the left and right side where it butts up to the material put on the vertical face of the wheel well...may want to cut back here a little bit or leave a channel for the frame to slip into. Otherwise no issues.

As you can see by these pics that you simply need to stay back from the area a bit. I dont have pics of the reflectix or insulation but these pics of my Dynamat display the same principals that apply to the insulation
Very nice looking install Wuttin

Thank you Wuttin and Toolman ... those pics are exactly what I was hoping for.

Both of you did first class installations.
