I trimmed the bottom of the back seat bracket like you did and cut the bolster down on the bottom part of the seat.

Yesterday I picked up some 2x4 tubing to mount the seats to. Also got some 1 1/2x3 tubing for frame connectors. When I'm done with both I'll tie them together with brackets for extra safety.

Got some more done on the seats...even used the pass thru today!

I was hoping to get the front seats in today but I need to get some rectangle tubing to attach the seat to the floor pans. So I worked on the back seat modifications and just have to do a little more to finish it. Gonna run the wiring for the power drivers seat tomorrow and clean the rear seat...

I bought some Yukon 3.08 ratio gears and spider gears the other night and they shold be here today.. I'm hoping to have the seats in this weekend... at least the front. I got a chance to get a promotion at my job but it involves me making my commute go from a 1/4 mile to 14 miles one way. So...

I ordered some Yukon 3.08 ratio gears and spider gears last night! I'm hoping to start putting in the seats this weekend!

Ugh my phone flipped them sideways!

Pics as promised! They need some cleaning but in pretty good over condition...just need seat belt receivers, apparently someone nabbed them before me.:wack:

I know I haven't post anything recently but I moved to a different apartment and I don't have a garage any more. :wack: So I did take a 45 min highway trip a few weeks ago and wasn't happy with the 3.55 gear ratio... not only did it cause my RPM's to run around 3000 but i sucked a half tank of...

Will do soon! I haven't taken them out of my Grand Cherokee yet where they have been for a few days... I went to the junkyard to get a rear door for the GC and I found out they had a '05 CTS in the yard. I got kinda lucky because someone before me had the passenger seat unbolted, but the driver...

Had to replace my throttle cable today. The other night my throttle got stuck almost wide open after peeling out on some wet pavement. After I let up on the pedal the engine was still racing and I quickly threw it in neutral and cut the car off. Realized after checking the carb , the cable was...

Here's a few more pics.

So the battery was toast. Got a AGM battery, hopefully I can relocate it to the trunk soon.

Well my car is finally on the road again! I took it home from local speed shop today. Turns out the brake pedal issue was due to the pushrod being on the wrong side of the pedal... whoops! It's so weird having power brakes in this car after almost 3 yrs with manual! The only problem now is...

Woohoo it's at the alignment shop! I was able to get banjo bolts from Napa which on there website said they didn't have anything that matched my car which is why I ordered from Amazon. But my parts didn't arrive yet so out of desperation I decided to go to napa and see if they had anything...

Thanks! Progress update I'm waiting for the banjo bolts for the front to come in so I can bleed the brakes and get an alignment. They were supposed to arrive today but as of 5 pm they weren't at my apartment leasing office and weren't in my mailbox when I got home from work. Hopefully in...

BTW does anybody know the torque specs for the camber bolts? I checked my service manual and can't find it.

I finished the last brake line with the exception of the differential which will be a piece of cake. I started to finish weld the spring perchs until I ran out of gas again... I need to invest into a larger tank. So tomorrow I'm going to pick up some more and get it finished so I can paint...

I got most of the brake lines in today...I messed up the drivers side front more than once trying to get it right, so I have to get more line to finish the passenger side. I made a bracket to mount the Wilwood proportioning valve. I got the Energy Suspension bushings in today and they fit! The...

Progress update I got the front suspension and brakes installed today! :blob: Also mounted the brake booster. It's so pretty, shiny and black! :cheers: Everything fit together so nicely! I was nice to have day that felt like I accomplished something. Tomorrow afternoon I plan to start working...

Progress update I got a second coat of POR -15 on the lower control arms. The sliders are finished! Not the best looking welds.

Progress update I feel so frustrated! the bushing I ordered came in today and it was the same damn size as the one I got from work.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: :wack: I did some looking around at different vehicles and apparently a 85 Jeep CJ7 has 1.5"dia bushings,which I might try...

Progress update It was too cold to keep the garage door open long, so I worked on what I could. It was 4° at 9 am today... I turned down the slider bushings , boxed the lower control arms, installed the conversion ujoint. I ordered new leaf sprint bushings from Rock Auto which will be...

Yeah I was thinking about it. Mine are pretty snug surprisingly but it wouldn't hurt to box em while they are out and clean.

Progress update I welded in the relocation boxes today. It was harder than I expected, not to mention that I ran out of welding gas on the second one. It was extremely cold today, I have space heaters in my garage but I had to have the garage door open a little bit for light and ventilation...

Progress update Started to cut for the relocation boxes. It snowed today so it took way longer to get around town this morning to bring the lower control arms to the sandblaster and some of the old parts and wheels to the scrap yard. I spent some time cleaning up around the front wheel wells.

Progress update Upper control arms are out! Lower control arms, brake lines, master cylinder, leaf spring bushings, lower controle arm pivot shafts are all removed. We'll I realized that the leaf spring bushings had two options one for the slant and one for the V8... the difference is the...

Well I have a few things left to remove: master cylinder brake lines lower control arms upper control arms...those freakin upper control arms arm the bane of my existence! Seized into the bushings with this one too. I snapped one nut off and tried cutting the other end off but the hardened...

Well boys and girl, tomorrow it begins! I took a week off from work and I hope it doesn't take longer than that! I'll be updating with pics as it progresses.

Spent the day painting yesterday. The steelies have primer and a first coat of satin black on the sides and back, the fronts will be painted anthracite grey. Some of the pics are with the first coat of POR -15. Still have to paint calipers and a couple of parts I forgot. Starting Saturday I...
