What to you guys think about this "upgrade"?
The seats do not even need to be from a Mopar, just curious as to how hard it would be to put modern buckets in.
As my name suggests, I spend a fair amount of time in the local junkyards and can easily get a decent set on the cheap.
Has anyone here done this? If so, how was modification on the tracks for fitment.

Currently working on installing Neon SRT seats in my `72. They take some work to get low enough for my liking but have great support and they are factory Mopar.

FWD Shelby Charger seats will bolt right to e-body seat tracks.  They can be found.  The driving position is a couple of inches higher.

Thanks! Brads70 mentioned you may have more info on a seat that has a bolt on application... or at least close.
I have read through most of the posts and like the look of the Hyundai seats. I could probably pay someone to to fabricate those but am in no rush and looking to find something I can mod myself (no welding ability)

Any suggestions on this? Thanks

All you need is the ability to measure, cut and drill metal.
