Converting to different seats

Hopefully some of this is relevant. My original seats were sitting outside for years, when I bought my 65 Dart. The fabric and the foams were totally destroyed. And the frames needed to be blasted clean and repainted. I had no idea what to expect, but I wasn't going to spend 1000 to buy new foams, seat covers and then F it up by recovering the seats myself (never done it before and not cornered into doing it yet).

I decided I wanted recaro style seats, black leather, suede, pleather, vinyl, but not cloth. I spent a few weeks trolling craigslist and found a pair of procar replica seats (folding black pleather bucket seats), they came with sliders and seat track adapters (for a 92 to 97 honda prelude). $200 bucks (thats a whole lot better than $1k)

I don't know if your body style has raised seat brackets like the 63-66 darts have. I'd find out. I think your best bet is to get your cars original style bucket seat tracks and then figure out how to mount them to any bucket seats that you find. Or buy seat track adapters for your car's body style and then figure out how to mount those to whatever seats you get.

My new seats had sliders on them, but without reusing my original buckets seat tracks I was going to sit too low and not level. It took me a while to figure it out, but the solution for me was to bolt the old seat track sliders to the new ones.

I also had to redrill the holes in my floor, and my next project is to reinforce the floor since the new holes aren't in the reinforced sections anymore.

So far I have less than $15 spent on grade 8 bolts, nuts, etc... and $200 on the seats. Sooner or later I'm going to get something aftermarket for the rear seat. I already know I'm going to need to make custom catches to hold the seats in.
