How did you mount the seats?

How did you mount the seats?

Against my better judgement I had purchased the bracket set from cipher hoping to save time so I wouldn't have to fabricate my own.

Wasn't really happy with the way they positioned the seats in the car. SO

ended up fabricating my own.

Scott, cars looking great! Did you do anymore tuning on the 4r70w lately?

Are original style seat platforms still in the car?

Yes The new brackets & sliders bolt to that just as the original seats did

Outstanding work as always Q. Thanks for the link, I enjoyed catching up on this build.

Scott, I really like your choice for the front seats, what brand are they? Ryan

Ryan they are Cipher

Don't buy the seat brackets adapters. In my opinion they place the seat to high up. I ended up making my own adapter for use with the stock sliders from the oem seats

Thanks, I haven't decided on what to do yet on my seats. At first I was going to recover the stock seats using an upholstery kit and new foam but after running the numbers I will easily have close to over $500 invested in stock looking seats and I will have to do the recovering myself. I want something with a more modern look and feel. The seats you have chosen are not that expensive and they look good. I think I'll be considering these or there are a couple others brands that are a similar style. Do you happen to have a picture of the brackets you fabbed up? If not, no big deal. Thanks Ryan.

Thanks for the picture of seat brackets. I was wondering if you used the stock seat tracks, looks like you did. Progress on the car looks great. Ryan

They look like they are already tinted?

 

[73pony]

I'm Jealous of being able to tint the windows. It is illegal here in Iowa and they enforce it like crazy.

They are the stock green shaded Not the black aftermarket tint No problem though we will take care of that ::thumb::

Bummer dude :-/

Heres the law for Iowa

You could do 20-25% tint which would comply with the law

[73pony]

Yeah the 20-25% is pretty minimal, can almost not even tell they are tinted. I have a prescription for darker tint (allow 35% of light through so pretty dark)due to eye surgery I had back in 2009 but all that entails is a card to keep in your glove box. They still pull you over every chance they get.

From the picture it looks like you have replaced the floor? Where did you get the panel(s)? It looks great.
