2004 power gto seats in a 2nd gen?

[dstryr]

Well, I asked around on about every car forum I can think of... I was told they wont fit. "Too tall" "Too wide"

Well after a couple days of work with my dad, we got them in and they fit pretty well. Really sturdy and have plenty of head clearance.

Here are some crappy pictures from my camera phone...will get new ones tomorrow:

Awesome, please more pics. So no headroom issues? You don't sit up high like you were in a SUV? It looks like you were able to use the factory mounts. Will you be producing and selling these adaptors, if so how much? Again awesome job, keep us posted.

[dstryr]

Car is at the alignment shop today...should get it back tomorrow night or friday morning. I'll grab some pictures then. I might be producing them..idk yet. They need to get some kinks to be worked out...like notching so they hug the floor a little better...

No head room issues... Like 3 inches from the roof. But like i said I'll have to think about what it will cost to make these and get them coated black. How much would you guys be willing to pay for a set? I'm not trying to make a killing but it would help fund my budget project.

[Northern Goat]

I wouldn't need them painted or anything, I have access to free powder coating. Check your email.

[cdoggy81]

I wouldn't need them poweder coated either.
Looks like you made them out of aluminum flat stock. Look good!
Have you got the power to them yet? Curious if there is any issues when you move them front & back. That's great you got them to work. Looking forward to seeing more pics!!! :woot:

[dstryr]

Seats have full power and no issues with sliding at all...

[cdoggy81]

Nice! Was it hard to wire up?

[dstryr]

The wiring was the easier part of the whole seat install,,, you run 1 hot lead from the fuse box ( off the BAT terminal ) to the orange wire with the black line and just ground them .

And if anyone was interested in buying a set of these for their car...I'm looking for about 85$ a set. That includes the brackets, hardware, instructions on modifications to the seats....

Let me know because I need 4 people to buy them before I go ahead and order material.

Thanks,
Dennis

[Northern Goat]

I'm in Dennis.

[dstryr]

Ha well tell your friends too :p. I have to wait for 3 more people becuase I have to buy material in 12 ft increments so... I dont want to get stuck with it ya know?

[Northern Goat]

I hear what you are saying. I'll see what I can do.

[PT70SS]

Do you think these would work in a 70 chevelle? If so I'm in, I have a set of power seats out of a 2006 GTO.

[cdoggy81]

I'm in as well but......
LMK how much material you need b/c I can get good prices on flat stock & it doesn't have to be 12' worth!

[dstryr]

Well I figure it would only be worth my time if I had atleast 4 sets to make... These will only work on a chevelle if the chevelle seat bolts in the floor are exactly like the ones in a 71 camaro...I can not gaurentee anything as they were made for the floors in my car.

[cdoggy81]

Any more pics of the brackets or install?

[CRead01]

I am curious how much headroom you have with these seats. seems like they would sit kinda high. I love how those seats look I'll have to take a look at these.

[dstryr]

Well they sit pretty damn low with the seats at the bottom of their travel... if i remember ill grab some pictures of the seats all the way to the floor...and all the way as high as they will go.

[67CamNKC]

Seats look great!

[cdoggy81]

:camaro: :)

[Hellrace]

Very nice I have just bought a set of 2004 gto seats myself that im putting in a 73 camaro

:candle:

[cdoggy81]

Does that mean there are now 3 people who want brackets....????.... :) :) :)

[Hellrace]

I can buy a set from you no problem.

:lurk:

[Northern Goat]

Looks like we may be up to 3 people. One more to step up to the plate and we a ready to roll.

[protour73]

Very nice I have just bought a set of 2004 gto seats myself that im putting in a 73 camaro

:candle:

please post pics, once they are installed, I'd be very interested in seeing this particular install !!!:fingersx:

[dstryr]

Yeah 1 more guys and I'll setup the paypal and order the material. I'll try and grab some pictures today but the problem is the shop is dark and its raining. I'll do my best.

[cdoggy81]

ah come on... lets just do it now that way you will have 1 spare set to keep in stock... hehehehehe... :) ;) :)

[dstryr]

haha . I actually have enough orders now. All I need to do is setup a account and ill let you guys know.

[Northern Goat]

Well they sit pretty damn low with the seats at the bottom of their travel... if i remember ill grab some pictures of the seats all the way to the floor...and all the way as high as they will go.

Did you happen to get anymore pics with the door shut?

[dstryr]

I want to make it clear that these will fix nice and snug in your car. Plenty of headroom with the adjustments. And another thing is I do not know if these will fit in later year second gens. i have only tried them on my 71 so here is my disclaimer. Thirdly, the adjustment levers are a little hard to get to with the door closed. it can be reached but not with a lot of room.

If you dont mind, then send an email to [email protected] to place an order. cost is $105 dollars out the door with shipping.
Thanks,
Dennis

[cdoggy81]

Dennis,
Let me know the total material needed & price you got quoted. I should be able to get it cheap as much as we buy & then save us all a few bucks $$$ ;)

[Hellrace]

Pm me when this is ready to go :drive1:

[dstryr]

Dennis,
Let me know the total material needed & price you got quoted. I should be able to get it cheap as much as we buy & then save us all a few bucks $$$ ;)

My dad gets it about as cheap as it gets...just giong to leave it at that haha. If you want a set, email [email protected] and I'll send you an invoice.

[cdoggy81]

I'm sure he does.
I'm emailing you now for a set.
Thanks again!

[dstryr]

Did you happen to get anymore pics with the door shut?

i keep forgetting when I'm there. I'll take some tomorrow. what angle do you want to see ? Front the side with the doors closed?

[Northern Goat]

Maybe a view from the front, through the windshield and a view from the side with the door closed.

Thank Dennis

[cdoggy81]

yah, what ^^^he^^^ said plus as many more as you can :)

[dstryr]

More pictures posted on my cardomain. check it out.

[cdoggy81]

What is the distance from the headrest to the roof?

[dstryr]

ill get measurements tomorrow.

[Northern Goat]

Dennis,

Thx for the pics they look great.

r u going to send me that invoice soon???

[dstryr]

yah...ill get on that..ive been sick for the past few days so today was the only time I got out of bed to take the pictures...and another reason ive been waiting is that I only have 3 orders right now and I have to wait for one of my dad's CnC machines to free up. Ill send you the invoice when its time to start making them.

[Northern Goat]

No problem. Just busting your b*lls

[barno68]

You mentioned that the power controls are tight against the door meaning the seats are wide... do you have a center console, and if so, how much clearance is there on that side?

Brent

[dstryr]

dont have a center console so I dont know if it will cause issues.

[Hellrace]

Pics looks exellent Dennis, any brackets yet :squint:

:rotfl:

[cdoggy81]

Brent, good question.
Dennis, take some pics of the center area & the room between the seats :)

[Northern Goat]

Based on my mock up it will be tight but the console fits.

[cdoggy81]

I've got to measure my original vs. the gto. I plan on using the entire interior from the gto. Better fit..... ah, no worries. I got a grinding disc & a mig welder. I'll MAKE it fit :D

[John Wilmesher]

cdoggy, I thought I was bad with my "pontiac problem". I just showed your signature to my wife, and she agreed I don't have a problem. Thanks for that! Also, One of mine is a 04 GTO, another is a 70 Firebird. The GTO seats are super comfortable, and I could easily imagine them in the Firebird.

[cdoggy81]

No Problem! Glad I could "help" :)
I am thinning the heard a bit though. I just sold 1 of my 2 1973 TA's ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QWjJhDMcL0 )
I listed 1 of my 2 1970 TA's ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6427&viewitem=&item=220199534861&_trksid=p3907.m29 )
I'm going to list my 70 formula.
My brother is going to take the 70 FB.
I'm gooooing to not fix the GTO & put it in the other 70 TA.
Now you did state the main issue here though. You said the "W" word........ See, I'm 28 & not married.... hehehehehe......... :) All my married friends say get the toys now while you can!

[Hellrace]

Any news on thoose brackets :lurk:

[cdoggy81]

Yes, any news?

[cdoggy81]

Let us know what's up...

[cdoggy81]

I think we might have to give up on this one... :(

[dstryr]

Woah...Sorry about not responding...didnt see the thread was active again. I think I've decided what I want to do.

Right now my dad's CNC Shop is swamped and I have to wait for a machine to become available so I can make the brackets.

If you want a set PM me and I'll give you an address to send the money order. I just talked to my dad and I will have access to a machine this tues,wed, friday...Let me know.

[Northern Goat]

send me an email with your address, if you haven't already

[Northern Goat]

Cheque is in the mail

[cdoggy81]

Updates?

[dstryr]

ive only recieved a check from Northern Goat . I have the back brackets ready to go... Im just waiting to get my car back before I can make the front ones...Paper work was misplaced and I need some info/ measurements from the car. Northern your set will be shipped out by wed. next week.

[cdoggy81]

Got ya Dennis. I'll mail you a $105 M.O. unless you have Paypal. LMK... :)

[dstryr]

M.O. or personal check will do.

[cdoggy81]

Sounds good. Will it ship out April 2nd also?

[dstryr]

Yeah if all goes well and you I recieve the money by then.

Anyone else interested? I have 1 set left in the current batch?

If there is someone else interested I could make another set as well. Let me know.

[cdoggy81]

Sounds good. I'm putting it in the mail!

[Northern Goat]

You may want to PM Hellrace. He showed some interest a month or so ago

[dstryr]

The brackets wont work on Hellraces car...that was the year the cats came in the car so the floor is differrent and the passenger side needs thinner pieces.

[Hellrace]

:kiss: cant help it I just dig this avatar, about the seats I fixed the brackets myself :hammer: just took the old ones off and made new.

Have a nice day :jump:

[cdoggy81]

Any pics???

[dstryr]

Alright guys here is an update. Im sorry to tell you, its a bad one.
I was supposed to get my car back today from being painted so I could finish making the front brackets for you guys. Well with my luck, the painter ended up taking a 2 week vacation and won't be back for two weeks.

Yeah I know this isnt what you want to hear but im trying to be honest. So I figure I can offer you guys two options. If you want to wait the two weeks I'll have the brackets to you as soon as I possibly can get them sent out.

However, if you do not want to wait an additional two weeks I'll send your money back ASAP. Its your decision so let me know what you want to do...

Again Im really sorry.

-Dennis

[Northern Goat]

Thanks for being honest. I can wait, just keep me posted.

[cdoggy81]

I can wait as well. Please keep us updated...

[cdoggy81]

2 week update.....
(ok, almost 2 week update (: )

[dstryr]

Called the painter guy today and he said my car will be ready to pick up on thursday. Meaning friday or saturday I will finish making your brackets and have them ready to ship by monday.

[cdoggy81]

Cool!

[Northern Goat]

That would be awesome. Thanks Dennis.

[dstryr]

update: Got the car back and will make the brackets on monday for you guys. I'll send you a PM on either monday or tuesday with a tracking number Northern

[cdoggy81]

What's the word?

[cdoggy81]

By Monday or Tuesday you did mean the 21st or 22nd right???

[cdoggy81]

It's been 2 weeks since your last update & you said you would have them out. I (as well as any other people I would assume) need a shipping #'s for the brackets.

[dstryr]

It's been 2 weeks since your last update & you said you would have them out. I (as well as any other people I would assume) need a shipping #'s for the brackets.

I shipped out Northern's set last week. I'll pm him the tracking number later on tonight.

cdoggy you never sent me any money...

[Northern Goat]

Thanks for the tracking number. I think it was delivered today. I will probably go over and pick the package up next week and then give you a call.

[cdoggy81]

Bull **** I never send you any $$$!!!

WTF do you think I kept asking about it? I've been the one bumping this thread all the time. I've sent you a few PM's even to clear up the $115 vs $105 vs. $85 price issues you had. Read post #58 -> #65
Here is a pic of the PM even:

I'm just going to post this final thing & then I'm done. Here is a scan of the Bank Cert. Check I sent on the 28th!!!!

I HIGHLY suggest you check your lost paperwork again & mail my brackets out...

[dstryr]

Well I'll go check the mail again at my dad's office. I did not recieve a check for anything as far as I know of. I could be wrong but I highly doubt it. I'll let you know tomorrow.

You never pm'ed me saying anything about actually sending payment...I havent recieved a check so I just thought you were holding off...why dont you calm the hell down. And next time you send someone money and they havent sent you an email yet...why dont you pm them asking if they have recieved the check etc?

This is what I get for trying to help people out on the forum. Next time I'll have to just be carefull about who i work with. I really appreciate your time Northern. Waiting for your phone call and I'll give you instructions on what to cut / mount / etc.

-Dennis

[dstryr]

Alright so I appologize. My dad is incharge of the mail at his office and thought it looked like junk mail so it just stayed in the pile. I'll have them shipped asap.

[saunacrank]

honestly, brackets, dammit, I just bought some sparcos and I have damn brand new black gto leather seats which I should have just put in because my god they are much comfier

[Northern Goat]

Package received (in Niagara Falls at least). Thanks

I will probably call you next week or so when I pick the package up from my buddy's place.

[Northern Goat]

Just picked up the brackets and all I have to say is WOW. I don't know what was better the actual brackets or the awesome wrapping job.

Thanks. I will call you once I get some time to bolt in.

[dstryr]

lol . I dont know if you are being sarcastic or not about the wrapping. It was so long ago I dont remember.

I'm going to take some pictures of mine, label which bolts and stuff go wheere and I'll take some pictures of how the seats must be cut.

Cdoggy you brackets are in the mail. Sorry for such a delay.

I have these installed in my 1981 trans am.

I had the rear seat modified to fit in the car. They look similar to the front seats now.

[dstryr]

How'd you get the rear seat to fit? I have a set but it seemed like too much work. Really interested in that.

[76LQ9TA]

I had a local upholstery shop modify the rear seats. They cut off the collar around the headrest, narrowed the center section, and welded the stock frame on the back of the gto frame. The lower sections had the fronts shortened and the stock seat frames welded to the gto frames. The shop said is was easy to make the rear seats fit.

[dstryr]

Have any pictures of this ? Thats a pretty sweet idea. I might have to get it done since I picked up the backseat for 75 bucks.

If you dont mind me asking how did you setup your seats in the front? Looking to see how other members got it done.

[trauschu]

Any more updates to this thread? Still thinking of trying to put 04-06 GTO seats in my 77 T/A with a center console, but haven't heard if they will fit 100%.

Thanks in advance for any more info.

[76LQ9TA]

They will fit in your 77 w/ a center console. Look at my pictures above. It is a 1981 trans am. The body is identical to a 1977.

[cdoggy81]

I am not going to use my brackets that dstryr made so if you want them I will sell them to you for what I paid for them.

[singer69]

I am also planning on putting in 04-06 GTO front and rear seats in my 69 Pontiac Lemans convertible. I'll keep ya posted on that. I'm still looking for the seats. If anyone has any for sale please contact me. Looking for black seats. Thanks for all the info here!

[cdoggy81]

eBay always has them:

Does anyone want to buy my brackets? I'm going a different route so I won't need them after all :(
