2010 SS Camaro Leather Seats in 69 Camaro?

[dhutton]

I've got a set of Recaros out of a 2014 Z28 that I am going to try. They are such comfortable seats that I have to try to get them to fit. Might have to modify the seat pans to get them a little lower. I will post up some pics once I get them fitted.

Luckily I had to push the 6L90E high into the tunnel so the shifter is located well for high mounted seats and I am only 5'9"...

I mocked these up and it looks like they are going to fit. There is 3.5 inches clearance to the headliner. I modified the floor pans to accept the factory mounts. No power applied in these pics so the front is high. These seats are very comfortable.

They do look good but about with the door closed. Just looking at the pic and with me being 6'2" I don't think I could use them. But they are an amazing seat.

I think they will be OK with the door shut. Probably no wider than the Procar Rally seats I used in my 69 Firebird with deluxe door panels. It will be tight to the seatbelt retractor but the Morris Classic retractor sits toward the door.

These seats have a lot of travel. It is amazing how far back they will go.

I spent the day yesterday modifying the back seat to see if it will work. It is a bit of a Frankenstein project, had to narrow and shorten the seat back. The bottom needs to be modified to clear the minitubs. I was able to retain the folding seat back. I am not quite ready to declare the experiment a success. I may have sacrificed it in the name of science...

I just put seats from a 2014 Mustang GT in my '68 Camaro. I cut tabs off, and had a local metal shop make the "Z" brackets, then welded them to my seat frame. I don't think the seats can be bolted against the floor because of the function of the sliders. Take a look on PT under interiors/new seats what do you think. I also made a jig to insure the bolt holes were going to align properly. I think by removing the tabs off the old seats, they were able to sit lower in my car. Need any help, just ask.
