'67 GTO LS3 Swap

[CFster]

Hey there,

Tim at TMI Products over here. Quick question for you...did you replace the frames and foam at the same time? If so, they will sit higher than an original, worn out bucket seat.

I'm 6'1" tall and in my 66 Chevelle with buckets, I've always been too tall for it. When I got the car it had worn out upholstery and I was too tall. When I had them reupholstered at a shop they were super firm and I sat super high. When I redid them with all of TMI's foam and upholstery I sat lower but my head will still barely scrape the headliner if I'm sitting upright and not slouched.

I've been meaning to do some surgery to the seat tracks and lower them. Plus I don't like how they don't get back far enough so I might just get a different set of tracks all together.



BTW, You have one of the nicest GTO's I've ever seen. I think I'm in love.

Tim, the frames were OEM. The foams came from you guys. I'm a big guy (6'5"), so even if I had just used stock foams they probably would have sat too high for me as well.

We made some brackets for the late model seats we put in. Lowered them basically until they're touching the floor, and they go waaay back so legroom isn't a problem.

Thanks for the compliment!
