I'm building a Falcon and the new 4-link has destroyed any chance the rear seat is going back in. It's primarily going to be a street car so I'd like to have as much of an interior as possible and less of a straight race car look. So I'm looking for ideas of what others have done. Any advice would be great.

Thanks guys.

Most late model mustang rear seat delete kits I've seen just use a performed carpet. Doesn't look the best but its an option. If you want to put some seats back in how about some buckets from a smaller car?

Does the car have a roll cage? If so, I wouldn't put the back seat back in anyway, unless its for aesthetic purposes. How bad does the 4 link intrude? You may be able to notch the seat bottom for clearance.

I will be building a rear seat delete soon. I already have my rear firewall to fill the hole into the trunk.

Must be a long upper link, my 3-link stays behind the rear seat.

Build some floor lockers and carpet trim them....check the back of late 70's+ Corvettes for some ideas.

Perfect place for a sound system and if you are concerned about weight you can always mount some free air subs

I have been thinking of redoing my rear seats in my Monza in memory foam and actually keep rear seating. No big loss. I am hoping to be able to integrate some hidden caging yet may try to adapt some parts of Ridetechs TigerCage ideas into my car. Time will tell. dont intend to remove the rear seat in the Caprice as I am figuring on having 4 adult and one child seat in that car. Two buckets and maybe make a baby seat mount for over trans tunnel in back.

Yeah, it will have a cage in it and the rear seat was going to be more of an aesthetics thing. The upper bars ended up coming in a lot farther and more importantly, higher, than I initially thought. I was thinking about going to the boneyard and gutting a beat-up rear seat but I think the bottom will be way to high to even look normal.

Bad picture as a result of a ****ty camera phone, bad angle and no tin work to give you a placement reference.
