New Comfy Seats Installed

[dhardison]

Since we're doing the Power Tour again this year I decided to install some more comfortable seats. I picked up a pair of Scat ProCar Rally buckets and had the rear seat covered to match the pattern. IMHO they look somewhat old school, plus they provide more comfort than the factory buckets and add a little side bolstering without looking "ricey". Let me know what you think.

Looking good Dan. I'm hoping to get on the leg of the Power Tour in Wi and maybe some of the MI, Ill loop. Time will tell, have alot of irons in the fire. What tracks did you use for the seats?

Thanks! Hope you can make the PT and we get to meet up. I used the Scat seat brackets. The seats sit a little higher than the factory buckets. I'll leave them as is for now and see how I like it, otherwise I'll re-fab the brackets to lower them down a bit.

Nice, I like that you went with a new school seat with an old school theme.

[BonzoHansen]

I love those seats, I still might put them in my 67.

[dhardison]

Thanks guys! I'm really pleased how they look in the car as well. I was afraid they would look a little too modern, but they have a nice old school appearance. I bought my seats and Nova seat brackets through Summit.

You can find more info on these seats and other models at http://www.procarbyscat.com

Dan, they look good. I am getting a set of 4th gen TA seats upholstered to match my 68 interior right now. Those old seats don't feel very comfortable after riding in them for so many miles in such a short time (like last year's PT). Hope to see you on the PT again this year.

See ya Thursday. Leave the keys and I'll let you know what I think of the new seats ;)

Nice seat choice! They look factory. I noticed that you also installed 3 point belts. How do those feel?

Thanks! I've had the 3-point belts for a year or so. They're from Morris Classic Concepts (vendor here on Pro-Touring.com). You can purchase them through Summit as well. They mount to the factory locations and are excellent belts. I feel much safer knowing I won't be eating the steering wheel in the case of an accident.

Those are popular seats and they look great. I've seen quite a few cars in person with them. MUCH nicer than factory stuff!

Who did your rear seat? Did they do the stitching or did you buy the material pre-stitched to match?
