New transplanted into old.
« on: July 31 2011, 11:15:44 PM »
These seats are out of a 2009 Challenger.   Had to rework my new floor pans, but, these are way more comfortable than what passed for seats in 1973

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I have not tried to fit the rear seat yet...may have a head room problem, but, I have so many things to work on....

Those would look bad ass in a GN. May I ask what you paid for them?

I paid $600 for front and rear.  Came out of a 5000 mile car that the owner wanted to put the SRT seats in...so he did.  Think I got lucky because I see them on ebay for twice that

they might be a couple of inches higher...they sit across the top of the hump rather than dropping around it....that is the reason I am worried about head room...altho, let's face it, I never have anyone in the back anyway...cage it and forget it

Interesting transplant.
So when is the cage going in?

No six pack...ultimat ely I would like to stick a modern hemi in it...not only for looks, but, nothing spoils you like fuel injection. Of course one could go six pack FI.  Can go that way on the 440.


Cage will be last thing.....this is to be a "handler"
