I was able to put together a large bulk of the bed/storage shelf today. I also discovered that you can never plan enough. The seat piece can not be folded up without hitting the roof.
Here’s the rear section out of the car.
I had to cut the fold out section a bit to make it fit. Again, my miscalculation with the height of the roof.
And finally, the entire unit put together and in the car.
Now all I have to do is install the anchors, figure out a new way to join the new sections (preferably something than can be undone by hand), and sand and paint it. It’s surprisingly strong. I probably could have gotten away with just the plywood but I like having the extra strength in the 2×3′s to keep the board from warping. Can’t wait to road test it!
