The 5th gen Z28 seats have most of the power functions ripped out so they are lighter. But even then, they are quite heavy.

No. The project has been on hold while we moved. Moving my shop took 24 trailer loads and it was quite a chore. Been busy setting up the new shop and storage building. Hope to get back on it soon.

This is a personal opinion so take it with a grain of salt. I am sure they are comfortable and functional but height and profile wise I feel they are a bit awkward looking. They kind of look like two people sitting in the car with those headrests.

I'm following the same path on my 68 camaro, it seems to be getting more popular. I haven't begun installing them yet but here are some pics Ive found across the net.




There's also a very detailed build thread over on pro-touring.com worth following if you plan on doing this

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.
