Converting '69 Chevelle from Bench to Buckets...

[JoeG]

azrapse,
Mr70 is correct about the seat leaning forward--awhile back in the now extinct "The Chevelle Report"-- this conversion was done with the kit from Hinshaw's Chevelle Parts--they had a complete installation kit.---JoeG

Thanks everyone. I will definitely purchase the conversion brackets - my understanding is they have to be welded to the floorboard and possibly moved about 3/4" from the existing outside hole to facilitate the seat clearing the seat-belt housing when adjusting forward/ backward on the tracks...

Anyone used the Bucket Seat Conversion Kit available through Ground-Up??? ..if so elaborate on how it turned out.

**To tell you the truth I just always liked the look, and feel, of buckets in a sport coupe...it's probably psychological as much as it is for plain comfort - your own space, and one you can adjust, ..and plant yourself into. Alright already...I'm a controling person, a LEO, and one of those who just can't allow themselves to sleep in the passenger seat while someone else drives - I'd rather be driving. (So how much for this session, doc??)

I'll keep you guys posted as to how it turns out...

Edward... I'm with you man... But just the opposite.. I need a T-Handle Hurst shifter curving up over a Black Bench seat and a set of Sidepipes and traction bars..

I remember that car like it was yesterday.. EVERY DETAIL.. And I'm 31 years old now.. TRUE car guys are implanted at a young age.
