back seat idea
Monday, March 27, 2006 10:08 PM
ok, i'm thinking about putting 2 front seats, in the back, and having enough space between each seat so i can extend the armrest console all the way back, and making a plate or some sort the fill in the gap that will be left.

i was hoping someone could tell me all that i would have to do, or even have some pictures showing me the finished product

thanks in advance

DAMN !

I just got a second full set of seats from a 90 z24 given to me, and was just gonna do a swap (my interior is blue and grey, so the new grey seats would look great with the painted dash highlights)

Now you are giving me ideas--time and money-eating type ideas.

Make an adapter plate from aluminum to mount the buckets back there--easy enough done.

Pull out the console, extend it using fiberglass and the lost-foam method for the form.

Make a filler plate to go behind the rear buckets from 1/8th plywood and carpet it to match the interior carpets. It could even be re-inforced to mount a couple of subs behind the new rear seats.

Oh, man--and I'm SUPPOSED to be thinking in terms of selling this car to finance the fiero project. I just hate dillemas.

I think I remember seeing one in a show car.. had screens in the headrests of the front seats and had a PS2 built in to the center console between the rear seats wired to the screens, and a sub directly between the back seats. Looked good.

i'm actually getting ready to switch to a set of sunfire gt seats, so i'm going to have mine left, thanks anyways.

so all i need to do is make some seat brackets and mount them? then we're do i mount the fabricated brackets? or do i fabricate them to mount at the original mounts?

as far as the console goes, i haven't had alot of experience with fiberglass, so i was thinking of buying another console and measure and cut it to where i'd like it, then, put both together. that just seems easier to me than practically construction a complete one.

also, does anyone know about how much clearance i would have between the seats before the console?
