Maybe I'll cruise up there and let you have at it !
I would try but gonna cost ya a beer. lolMaybe I'll cruise up there and let you have at it !
I went back to the pick and pull to get the rear seats from the car I already got the fronts. Before I butcher em up I think I'll see how creative I can get to install them as they are in the cuda.
Gonna take some pretty good engineering. But they sure look good back there
Might need to loose a head rest or 3

Would look great in the Cuda are they wider than your car?
The pics are of them just sitting in the back of the cuda. Not mounted or installed yet. The bottom is a little narrow . Ill see what I can do when I get some time, fitting them in there for real. Not a very good pic.
Doesn't look like it will take a lot to fit from what I see. Your giving me some ideas on mine, keep us posted please.
These seats need to sit on a flat floor or platform, I think.. once I get it figured out I will post some pictures. Should be similar to yours.

Hood seal showed up today. forgot I even ordered it. Perfect fit.View attachment 1715454052 View attachment 1715454053 Found it on EBAY, have gotten a couple different parts from this company. They are US made in house according to the Company. I would recommend this company if you don't like Chineseium stuff. Same price range.
Hell , They might be the only business left in Detroit.
I've been ordering interior parts to finish up inside the car.. Got the seats from a 2015 Dart in a pick and pull yard about a week ago, got some new carpet, seat belts and some stuff like a heavy felt carpet to cover the cardboard trunk divider. Bump the budget up $300
My wife helped by stitching up the blown out airbag seam. Couldn't tell after she worked some magic on it.
Got the rears stuck in place and they fit pretty damn good. $30 more on the hit to the budget .

Good carpet Al I bought the same. I really want to see the seats in when you get them in.
Heres the rears in place
Sold the old stockers to a member the other day for cores. Got the front seats put back in just waiting on the new front belts and I'm just about done in there except for a sound system. Total on the new interior is about $400

Fred, They are a little darker than they look in the pics might be the lighting but they look good in there, and feel way better than 50 year old seats.
They look great I am surprised they fit so well.
How about the front seats I see your seamstress repairing them and sure they look great.
The front passenger seat air bag blew also. She sewed it up to. They fit good but I had to make them fit, they didn't just bolt in. The only thing is the fronts don't fold forward to much to allow access into the back seat, since these seats came out of a 4 door car
I remember your pictures getting them to fit. Good info on the seats not folding forward enough never thought about that.
No fat people in back !
I'll be able to get back there no problem. lolNo fat people in back !
I'm not fat , but I'll stay up front , thanks.!
when you climb in the back seat of your old car that you restored it is just to clean it not go for a ride, Rule #1.
Ya , If I want to get in back I'll just take the SHAGGIN-WAGGIN
Sure miss mine had a lot of fun in the back.Ya , If I want to get in back I'll just take the SHAGGIN-WAGGIN
I guess after I get the cuda all lined out I will probably try to sell the van off. I don't need all these vehicles.
That's what I did Sold my 68 Chevy short box pick up not to long ago that was my daily driver and still feel bad for doing it.
Hate to see you get rid of it Al a sweet ride but I under stand.
