    Got the 32 sedan rolling and am needing to exercise the benefits of having room for a rear seat. With Mokan coming up closer and closer I need to get this baby ready for the family to make the trip.

    I need some pics and ideas on some rear seats.

    thansk for the help

    I dont know the width of a 32 sedan, but my 28 Tudor will be probably getting a first row Dodge Mini Van seat..it is about 46" to 48" wide..looks like it will fit. Or I will make it fit!

    Yes, I will probably just make some but would love to see some pics of different set ups. Got mustang buckets in front ( not the best choice) but it is a start. Pics please

    Are all the supports and knobs still there? How about a 1932 Ford Tudor rear seat? You can probably buy the springs and wood supports for a couple hundred, and it will require NO screwing with. And you know it will fit perfect.

    I was wrong, the repro springs and wood costs about $300 from Mac's. But you know it will have the right shape.

    I just picked up a 96 Dodge Caravan rear seat for my Model A Tudor. Found it on craigslist for free. Perfect width and depth. I just got done making the mounts for it but don't have it in the car yet.

    For my '35 sedan I went out and tape-measured a bunch of seats until I found a 1996 Geo prizm (Toyota Corolla) seat was just the right size for the rear. I had to weld the backrest together to make it one piece but it fit and folds forward for access.

  13. Someone here built a seat out of plywood, with holes cut under the cushions. They put elastic webbing in the holes. Foam over that.
