This is a long shot, but would anyone happen to be stripping a car with the Sportdeck seat structure(s) intact?

Namely, this bit (hope Marks73 doesn't mind the picture linking from his thread):

I'm considering doing the conversion, seeing as the car I'm working on is already down to a shell.

I have the two side sections, cut out from the frame. I also have a complete section cut out, still has parts of the wheel houses and rain gutter attached. It's a big piece. I have a post somewhere on-line that shows the installation on a car that didn't have it.

Funny thing though, I parted a 71 with the folddown. It didn't have those side sections, just the two vertical pieces running up and down next to the trap door. It came from the factory that way. They must have added the metal later on in the year to add support.

I just took a look at the alternate pieces that don't connect to the wheelhouse. Apparently, the Gone in 60 Seconds car is set up that way, so I'd actually prefer that type - even if it rattles more.

Whichever the case, send me a PM with pictures and your price - I'm interested.
