New Seats!!!
I put seats from an '87 in my '73...some fabrication/modifications were necessary but all in all I think they came out pretty good:
And here's another pic just 'cause she was looking soooo shiney. Just for kicks I tried some of that Zymol wax...not bad for a rotten paint job.
:cheers:

Re: New Seats!!! (FinnShark)
Thanks. I thought I could just drill new holes and bolt the new seats in using the new tracks but turns out they sat about 3 inches higher than the old ones (which put my head over the windshield a bit) so I had to remove the C4 tracks and bolt on the old C3 ones (which was a little tough). Then I still had to drill 2 new holes per side to get them to fit. A little hassle but I think it was worth it, the new seats are MUCH more comfy! :hurray:

Re: New Seats!!! (Mystery Machine)
Wow, that looks great. Very nice install. Can you tilt the seats all the way forward without the headrests hitting the top of the windshield? I need some new seats.

Re: New Seats!!! (inqbus383)
I was just looking on ebay and calling local corvette salvage yards about those exact seats. They look great. Where did you find them? and how much? :cool:
