I saw in the March Street Rodder someone copied your GTO rear seat idea in a Pontiac Chieftain...actually they used the whole GTO. aweful execution on the dash though.[QUOTE]

I saw that article but I can't take credit for the idea ....I copied it from someone else when I was researching what kind of seat would fit in my car. Of course, I didn't find any examples of fitting one into a fat-fendered Ford but I did find them adapted to old Camaro's, Nova's, GTO's, etc. The dimensions were close to what I needed so I thought why not give it a try. Unfortunately the new GTO front seats are too big for the old Fords but I think late model BMW 3 series buckets will be a close match style-wise and are small enough to fit.

I'll explore the E-brake possibilities next time I'm at the salvage yard....
