How To: Fold down seat conversion

Very interesting
My currant dart and my old one were both fold down seat cars, I have a spare roof with package tray from a non fold down seat duster and thought about buying that in my currant dart so I can add rear speakers

If you already have a fold down car the easiest thing to do would probably be to just section the "standard" package shelf. That should allow for the speakers, but retain your original VIN and fold down bracing to keep the chassis intact. Just watch the front edge of the fold down package shelf, that's where the bracing is.

Dude, Have you been in my garage taking pictures!?!?!?! I'm RIGHT in the middle of doing the same thing... even down to keeping the full package tray with speakers! I've not yet cut the fender covers, but will shortly. Heck, I'm even adding the 1" bar along the leading edge. How freaking coincidental is that?
Very good write up.

Nice! I cut the interior panels with a set of tin snips, worked out very well. I just used the donor car, but I have another set that was originally black that I left just in case I messed it up. But it was pretty simple. Good luck with your conversion!
