Alright folks,
Time once again to toss myself on the mercy of those who truly know...
We, my 14 yr old son and I are resto-modding a 66 coup for him to drive when he reaches appropriate age. We have done mucho tuning to the I-6 (hoping to avoid the potential re-build), auto trans, power steering, etc. We have ordered a disk brake kit and we await it patiently.
Last weekend we went for a short spin in my uncle's 68 camaro street rod, and discovered something we had not yet planed on. The stock seats and belts did not do much to keep my ample (and my sons skinny) posterior planted.
SO it was off to the catalogs, 2 new front seats, bucket style with appropriate looking appearance... well now, that was an eye popper....
Does anyone have any experience on what, if any junk/salvage yard seats and belts will fit? We can do some decent fabrication but do not want to cut the car to shreds. We want 3 piece shoulder harness' and bucket seats with head rests. It would be cool to hear that something from the late 90 stangs Will fit nice, then we could look for some with running horses or something on them.
And yes, I know we are way ahead of ourselves here, we are still welding up floors, and doing rough body work. But I have learned, keep your eyes open and the right deal will fall in your lap. It is when you need that part now that you over spend!
Thanks folks!
