Can anyone tell me if seats from an '84 will fit in a '68?

I was looking at the picture of your vette and I really like the way the wheel flares look on your vette can you tell me how you got them like that... did you buy a kit and if so from who or did you make them from scratch and also do you have any more pictures from different views to show the flares better also did you put wider tires or what size tires do you have.
I have 80 seats they are awesome compare to the 77's and they have a perfect fit and with the midseta swivel they are easy to get behing the seats.

The fender flares were on the car when I bought it. You can get them from Ecklers corvettes they call it a "ZL1 fender kit". I do have bigger tire and wheels on the on the back (15x10 wheels and 295-50-15 tires) the fronts still need to be alot wider (right now there 15x8 wheels with 235-60-15 tires). I do have a couple of more pics here they are.

Hey Dez
Nice car , but where are the chrome bumpers ?
I have to agree that this 68 original seats don't do their job anymore.
No headrest and no hold.
I'm also installing aftermarked ( Recaro ) seats this winter.
I have to slightly modifie them, so that they pass the tunnel when sliding them forward, but that's not a big deal as I need to recover them anyway.
Good luck, Gunther :seeya
