Trunk wood

I need to build the wood covering the tool storage area as well as the piece over the spare tire in my 37 hump back. Are dimensions or patterns and how they are fastened available?
 
I have a '37 Trunk back Fordor. What I did was find some pictures on line of the trunk area. (This was before the '37 Ford Book was out from the V-8 Ford club)
then I just tried to "eyeball" the plywood shelf over the spare tire using the picture and the metal mounting points for reference.The V-8 club book is your best bet it has the pictures you're looking for.I faked a spare tire hold down.
For the tool storage covers I made cardboard templates and when I felt they looked right cut the covers out of 3/8" plywood. I can take pictures of mine and E them to you or make a paper pattern and snail it your way.
Probably not concourse correct but I think they look good!

I did the same with my son's 41. Made cardboard templates and then used 3/8 plywood. I fit them real close to the outline in the sheet metal. He had an unfortunate accident bending in the rear, the wood covers escaped unharmed and were used to get the sheet metal back into the proper shape.
