I will be using the Procar Elite seat. The biggest advantage of these seats is the low cost. For me they are a very comfortable seat with good support. They also had the most classic look of the other seats I looked at. Remember the whole "Pro-Classic" vibe. The seats will be recoverd in leather with a charcoal houndstooth insert from Relicate Leather.

I didn't want to use the diriect fit brackets which would have raised the height of the seat so I just cut up the sliders and made new reinforced mounting tabs so the sliders were a direct bolt on in the front. I moved the bolt holes in the rear of the floor pan to bolt in the rear sliders. With the seat being lower it put the seat back adjust handle very close to the floor. It didn't seem like it would work by the time I put in sound deadner, underlayment and carpet so I notched the rocker portion to make some more room. I know that rocker panel is structural, so we did weld in some gussets and used 1/8 steel to replace the portion I cut out.
