Default Trunk sides

When AMD replaced my quarter panels the new quarters have no protection on the inside meaning if something was to slide the side it could potentially dent the quarter from the inside. Is there anything I can do to protect the inside of the quarter?

Don't carry heavy, hard stuff in the trunk that isn't at least strapped down? Or you could make some heavy upholstered side panels to install inside the trunk.

When my '64 GTO was new, the first time I took it to the drag strip, I put my SK toolbox in the trunk, along with the drag slicks. The tool box hit the inside of the driver's side wuatrer panel the forst right turn I made. Sure enough, there were two dimples from the corner of may tool box plainly visible from outside the car.

That was my first lession in putting something in place to prevent more dents.
