corvette "storage liner" measurements
I know its a longshot, but does anyone happen to have the exact measurements for the storage compartment liners for an early c3?
My intent is to put the dimensions into a cad drawing, and 3d print new ones.
(I know they are cheap to buy, but it wont be near as fulfilling to do it myself)

So THAT is what those holes are for,!
My project car doesn't have the liners.
Maybe you could find used liners locally to get accurate dimensions?.
There are some weird angles in the center liner.

Filament must be cheap in Florida 
I's say your best bet would be to put some cardboard under the frame and trace the shape of the opening, scan into cad and add some clearance, remember to clear the latch, and then add the flange back out. Set the depth at wherever you want it, (I can check the depth of a 72 if you want) and put the finger holes wherever you want them or leave them out and put a pair of ledges to grip

The originals are pretty fragile. A 3D print would be an improvement. I'm thinking of modifying a cooler and cramming it in the jack storage compartment. Haven't gotten that far, but the liners aren't good enough for me either. Good luck.

Gazpar....you have a good idea...but wrong compartment!
It's the MIDDLE CARDBOARD compartment that has been back-ordered for MONTHS!
I've ordered one from CA and CC, BOTH were 'rejected at the basket'.
To the point ...I've said @#$%-it I'm going to do it myself out of sheet ABS! (oh! BTW the @#$% the word id FLOCK-IT! lol)
