Hot Rods Cheap seats

they're suspension seats with not a lot of bounce, un like solid foam that continual compress to harder foam.. flat bottom steel plates that are easy to mount, they also sell the sliders if you want them to adjust.. but all my cars I'm happy with them back as far as they will go and never need them to adjust for ward... I've used door bucks to make them hinge to get behind them in sedans ...

 

I also require low back and no plastic for my taste..

 

Wow! Lots of comments and opinions. Again, my intent was a low buck build (around 6K all in as it sits) that is functionable, reliable, and somewhat comfortable to drive. I used what is available and cheap as did most hotrodders back in the day. Like the Mexican blanket ideas though. Will have to get one. Thanks for all your input and Merry Christmas

Not traditional but sure looks comfortable. As same as noted. Some spray dye and back paint will knock some of the modern look off of those. Since they were inexpensive , you can rock those if you want to look for replacements. Most of all if you DRIVE your car ( not 5 miles a week to the Dairy Queen cruise night ) your bottom and back will be much happier.

 

So you building a real hot rod, using what works. Sure, you could spend ten times what you have in those on bomber seats, and be "period correct" and hate the ride. Form follows function, not fashion. My girl looks great in heals, but she will not win any 20K races in them.

 

This what I would do also. The key to the plastic sides is to sand and prime fill until smooth and hi gloss paint to look like metal; possibly swap them so the controls are on the inside if not used often and mostly hidden

 

Go, D2, go
