rear seat delete pics

[diddylx50]

The pics are not the greatest because they were captured from video but you guys will get the idea. I started taking alot of unnecessary weight out the car this week and I moved on to the back seat. I hate the way it looks when people lay carpet down in place of where the seat goes so I decided to build my own rear seat delete. A trip to Home Depot for 3/8in plywood(if I were to do it again I would go with some thicker plywood) and an order to 5.0 Resto later I started working on it. I had to paint the armrest delete because it came in a dark grey color and my center console because the previous owner managed to mess that up. Just when I was putting the center console back in I managed to break my astray door

Now that the reat seat delete is done it makes the rest of the carpet in the car look like crap. I guess its time for some new carpet, blow down tube for the bottle, headliner, center console (because of the broken astray door...its broken all together so the fix wont work), and a few other things. All I wanted to do was take some weight out of the car...now look what i started LOL.

thanks guys

I orded some "carpet by the yard" from 5.0resto.com and just got some plywood from the Home Depot. I made a couple hunderd measurements and then I made a cardboard template first before I cut anything. It took me awhile to make it but im very happy with the results

how much weight do you think you shed?

 

[diddylx50]

People claim that the rear seats, seat belts, brackets, sound deading mat under the seats, and the center console armrest weigh close to 60 lbs. With the plywood and carpet I say I put close to 10 lbs back in it. Roughly a 50 pound savings???

I put one of those 50resto arm rest deletes in my car, the fit is TERRIBLE though, had to "modify" it, but the stock armrest is one heavy mo-fo

But then where would you put your cassettes???

www.50resto.com sells the replacement astray door kit. no need to replace the whole console. And the only thing i dont like is how the nitrous is just sitting in the middle. you should either mount it in the hollow space underneath or at least move it to the side. just my opinion though.

Pics? Is it uncomfortable? like do you have no where to put your arm

Love the rear seat delete, id consider getting one, i think my gf would like it to lol. I have a question, if you do the rear seat and on a special occasion you have 3 buddies with you can they jump back there? i know it owuld be uncomfortable but it wouldnt break or anythiing would it?

the replacement astray door would not fix it...where the door mounts to the console is completely broken. The door itself is fine. I mounted the bottle in the middle so i could turn it on and off from the driver seat and also see the pressure gauge...i agree that it would look better somewhere else tho.

I have the armrest delete installed...check out the last pic. Im not sure if its uncomfortable or anything yet because i have not driven the car.

The rear seat delete that I put together would not hold a person. I made it out of thin plywood and tried to keep it light as possible. I dont see why it couldnt hold a person if it was built right using stronger materials.
