It's pretty much A try and air type of thing as far as fitting.
The 66-67 seats will help a bit as they are narrower still not,
sure how much room you'll have for the console as these cars,
Are narrow. I know it's not a lot of help but maybe it'll give you
An idea of what your getting your self into.

GT.

What I'm asking is more on the mounting of the seats. I didn't know that I needed to cut & remount the floor brackets to get these 68 seats installed. My 1st time doing this, I just didn't know what direction to take.

Anyone else's help is appreciated.

My old drag racing friend looked at the 68 seats in place today and is making me a bracket to mount the seats in the front. Will use a hard plastic biscuit on 1 of the rear legs for side to side leveling. I will try to post some pics (any info on formatting is welcomed).
Thnx, Robin
