Improving the Comet again...

Going for Mustang buckets today.
Free too!
I am getting 3 seats for nothing but none of them match...I'll live. Beggars can't be choosers.

 

sweet man.. your getting all the badass deals..

 

They are in and they look great. They are both passenger seats...but I will survive. One red and one dark blue. One cloth back, one vinyl back. I actually got three seats and used parts from all three plus the bench to get it to work. Ill recover them soon enough.
I used the tracks from the bench seat on the outside and the Mustang tracks on the inside. I got it all to work fine and it's great. They track fine and adjust properly.
I noticed that they are a little cock-eyed so I will need to shim the outer tracks a little.

Did I mention I love them?
Well I do.

 

COOL!!!
Far as I'm concerned, that's what's important here......loving your car, improving/modding your car, and sharing whatever you do to it with others!
Congrats on the seats, Paint! :Handshake

 

what year mustang seats are they?

 

You know I'm not sure. Fox body for sure.
The tracks on all three were different. One had a wire control to make the sides work together, one was springloaded and one was a mix of the two with a small wire and a spring on both sides. I used the tracks from the Comets bench and rigged the Mustang tracks to work with them. I used a small chain with S-hooks to connect them together so they tracked and locked properly. It took about 2 hours in the 100o NC heat and the help of my 9 year old daughter(couldn't have done it without her help!).
She got the first ride.

Installed.


Unused seat back.


Unused seat front.

 

sweet man, those gotta be way more comfortable than the bench..

 

An open 5 gallon bucket would be more comfortable than that benchseat was.

 

Nice! I got 65 mustang buckets in mine,i love them. Way better than a bench.

 

sometimes my bench seat just kicks my ass..

 

Bench seats could be fun you know :evilsmile... Course theres always the back seat or the hood or the bumpers, or hell even standing.
As long as this aint happening, i'm good.

Them seats will work but do they sit you up higher?

 

I'm actually a little lower.
My bench was very tiring to sit on for long periods of time. The angle it rested at was awful. I always wanted buckets in my Comet and now I got them. Since the tracks are already there all I need is a drivers seat to be perfect but they are very good enough for now.
I'm looking for seat skins now.(not covers)

 

Holy smokes! The redo kits are like $400!
Good grief.
