    Trying to find a good seat than can be modified for a 30 ford roadster.
    Did a search and nothing showed up.
    Thanks in advance.

    Supposedly 80s 90s Chrysler minivan middle row seats work great. I was going to go that route, but wound up picking up an old roadster seat instead. I'd do a search to find the exact years.

    Thanks is your roadster a 29 or a 30. The 30 is wider.

    I've done the 80's caravan middle seat in a 29 A and looked perfect, had to build risers for it
     
  5. Ive used the minivan seats in many old cars.

    Mini Van seat it is. I looked at an older chrysler seat and it was 38 inches wide. The 30 roadster is 45 inches wide at the back and 48 inches wide at the door. I found a seat in a ford windstar (don't know the year) and it was 41 inches wide at the rear and 43 inches wide at the front. good looking seat, it has an aluminum frame that appears a little too tall. This afternoon I removed the arm rest from the right side and really washed it. Rug shampoo and water, Alamogordo is very dusty. Seat was totally dry in 2 hours, 10% humidity and 25 mph wind really dries things.
    Thanks everyone, I think I can make it work.

    I don't know how the engine picture got in there, guess the camera messed up.
