You will just notch the corners. No problem

You sure about that? Just notch the corners of a fold down back seat? The brackets that mount to the floor that hold the back are about where the minitub ends up.

im hearing what u say, if the seat fits with some knotching im probably going to have to run seat mounts for rear inboard . any other ideas or info is appreciated

DetroitSpeed minitubbed a fold down back seat car. Look up in their past projects and dig for that. They show how they did it. It`s quite a bit of work to be honest with you

I remember seeing those pics. It reminded me of what it would be like to do a chopped roof. But you know they done it the very best way. Just like my seat for my tubs, I'm hoping I can find an easier way for a non skilled hillbilly to get it to work. Being poor sucks :slap: . And I'm only doing a non fold down seat, just kind of ignoring it and hoping it goes away.


I seen pics once of a seat bottom frame being cut and notched on the corner but cant seem to find it again. This question comes up alot maybe someone can replant some more pics, DYI's, or info :candle:

They ran a modified rear seat in the Twister Camaro, call them up and ask for some pointers.
