    I currentley have original seats front and back in my tudor sedan. I am looking for some seats that are lower and that slide in the front since I am planning to chop the top and something less "spongy(sp?)" in the rear so I can put my kids car seat in it and not have it sink when it is buckled down.
    Any ideas?
    If you have some pictures that would be great.

    You might look at Dodge mini van seats. I'm using one in my A roadster and I think it's perfect. For the front seat of a 2door it may not work as well. Maybe some buckets from the same donor.

    Yea, I need some buckets for the front since they will need to slide forward or tilt forward so you can access the rear seats. The rear seats I could probably find some third row seat that I could cut down or something.

    I found a pair of 1966 Mustang buckets at a swap meet for $40 and bought a set of repro seat covers from a Mustang supplier( $160 ). The seats fit in my sedan but they are touching together at the front part of the seat. The seat covers were easy to install with hog rings and they have all the original colors to choose from. I'm not using a back seat but a friend has used a mopar minvan seat.

    you should take a look at the buckets in a Geo Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick) (1989 - 93) they are well bolstered, comfortable and slide and tilt. Also look at the rear seat. The rear is two buckets, that tilt forward and also flip up. Rears not as comfortable as fronts but still decent. Head rests are built in to rears and add on to fronts. Might be just the right width for your style of car
