I went for a more retro hod rod look. pretty much all muscle cars you see have the same look, torque thrust, cragars, or factory wheel.
What's the interior out of? Did you have to modify the mounting points on either the front or rear seats to get them to fit? any installation pictures? Thanks
Lines look straight - did you do your own body work or farm it out? Those are some big Donks on that Lark..! Lotta chrome to polish.:rant: Dan C.
The interior is out of a 2006 GTO, it was a last minute decision to put them in the car literally a week before it went to the interior shop, so it was a lets get them in a wired up type deal. The front seats use the outside front mounting hole that is in the car. The inner fronts were drilled out and I welded a bolt to the car from underneath so the seat slide over the bolt and is held with a nut. The rear of the front seats square tubing welded to the floor since the bolts mount horizontally. The rear seats were cut down 4 inches to flush out with the back deck. The back wall was notched so the seats would slide lock into place. here are some pics that show how they sat in the car before they were cut down
95% of the body work was done by myself and my son. There were a couple of dings in the roof that I had the body shop to fix because they were close to the window. Actually the rear wheel heght is only 1 inch higher that what i was going to run with the Nitto 20" drag radials. Once the car is lowered more it will achieve the look of a sleak modern street rod.
