Default 2010 SS Camaro Leather Seats in 69 Camaro?

I have a complete set front/rear that I would like to install in my 69 Pro-Touring Camaro. My question is has anyone installed the late model seats in a 69? I installed new carpet recently and just placed the front seats in the car....they seem a little high but I have to cut some of the tabs off to get the track flat on the floor. If anyone has pictures of an install to include a side view it would be appreciated! Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I asked if anyone had done this on Pro Touring site several months ago. Crickets still chirping.

I believe that a few people have tried the fifth gen seats in their car
I was even considering them when I did my 5th gen console, but the seats would sit way too high for me
The others had the same results when they tried too

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...
