https://www.pro-touring.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=117397&stc=1looking for some info from you guys I have a 68 buick skylark conv. im working on and I want to do buckets in the front and rear . I just bought some g37 front seats and was considering using the rear as well or should I try to get the factory rear seat done to look like a bucket ?

Some have used the rear bucket style seats from the 2004-2006 GTO's. Just get them recovered in the style of your front seats.

I thought about gto seats but the prices so sky high I fig I could still do a nice interior with something else . looking at how some people have done theres I might be able to pull it of but its not going to be easy lol.

GTO rears are cheap. A basic, functional install is easy peasy, if you can spot weld a legit install shouldn't take much time at all. I have mine held with welding ground magnets so I can pivot them forward on the rare occasion the top gets put up.

Also, I think TMI or somebody makes a sport foam and covers for the rears, but I'm not sure if they make them in convertible sizes. Either way, and this is just an unsolicited opinion, if you're putting these in a vert you might consider ditching those g37 seats and finding something with belts built in. Again, just an opinion.

chuck I would be interested to see how you have them mounted in there that's a great idea

The rears you mean?
The rears of the bottom cushions and bottoms of the seatback have metal loops on them, for lack of a better word. I used one magnet behind each lower part. I then cut some metal to fit under the bottom cushion, mounted a magnet to it then used it to hold the bottom down.
http://www.harborfreight.com/magnetic-ground-block-30754.html It really doesn't take much to hold rear seats down to begin with, but these magnets are pretty strong so they aren't going anywhere. Once I figure out my rear armrest situation I'll find something more permanent.
It's been a while since I looked at it but I think there are some seat pics toward the end of my thread on ls1tech.
