But since Cadillac and others have been streamlining their cars for sport & performance, it appears they've also made the seats into a more suitable size for such an adaptation.

The '02 and newer BMW 3-series convertibles also have an integrated shoulder harness that doesn't look bad. I've been looking for a deal on those for my '37 sedan.

Keep us posted on the Caddy seats and post up some more pics if you're going to use them.

Yea, since my car is a 4 door sedan these seats will fit very nicely. I'll be building a console to run into the back seat area also. At the Daytona Turkey Run I saw a set in a 50 Hudson Hornet and they looked great. I'll post up what I come up with as far as the wiring and air bags.

Those will be great in a 4 door. My '37 is a 2 door sedan so back seat access would be extremely limited if the seat back doesn't fold forward. I fabbed a '04 GTO seat for the rear. It's pretty comfy. If I find front seats with really nice leather & the right color, I'll just cover the rear seats to match and cut down on some interior costs....

WOW!! Those seats look GREAT in there! Could you give me the side to side measurements? I might have to steal that mod for my 39.

Hey, thanks! They're right at 48-49" wide.
