Modern seats in E-Body

[cudaragtop]

My work in progress.
A-Body not an E-Body though.

Neon SRT4 Seats.
My original seats were trash including the seat base/tracks.
These are sitting on Corbeau Seat Bases using the Neon sliders.
Will be reupholstered in Leather when the time comes.
The USCT tunnel and 2018 Challenger console are just sitting in there. Console placement is just estimated...
Still need to cut out the existing tunnel and weld in the new one.





Sitting outside in Vancouver WA decaying for 20 plus years did this car no favors...



For the Cuda I went with new Foam and Leather from Legendary.
Not as comfortable or supportive as any new modern seat choices I'm sure but I'm very happy with them.
New Legendary Back seat vinyl to match.



Old vinyl that was replaced.

How was the rail mod on these? Looking for a fairly easy mod as I sadly have no welding experience.
I can cut pry and bolt real well though

Yes you will need to do some welding ( cutting/pasting)  Reach out to Jason I think he made his a bolt in deal?  @Cudajason

Thanks @Brads70 , you are correct, no welding required in my set up.

@JunkYardFind.com here is a link to my thread:

I adapted the factory mount on one side to account for the height difference.  I do have some stickyness in the slider mechanism because the factory mounts is slightly curved.  I think a small spacer at the back would correct it.

I like where you are going with the seats and Challenger console.  Have you modified those seats to tilt forward for access to the back seat?  That's the thing I'm concerned with the SRT4 seats, as far as I know they don't tilt forward like the oem would.

Not yet but torredcuda has a thread and a video of his in his Cuda that he modified for a little more forward tilt.
I looked at the recline mechanics and it looks like it would be pretty easy to mod.

He did a video too.

Excellent!  I had found a set of decent SRT4 seats a month ago but didn't jump because I was worried about the tilt forward.  I'll ping the guy and see if he still has them.  Might need to look for new covers or have them made too.

Struck out on SRT4 seats so far. 
Has anyone looked at early 90's Miata seats, or 2015 Dodge Dart seats?  The Miata's look pretty trim and I hear they are comfortable and supportive. 
I met a guy with a 67 Barracuda that put the front and rear seats from a 2015 Dart in and they fit well and were very comfortable.  I didn't have a chance to get any measurements though.

I bought these for the 'vert.

I like how it has integrated seat belts (like the old CHrysler Sebring convert seats).  Power everything.  Plus heated.

I used this company (Cerullo) for my seats in my '65 Mustang.  Lots of options and customization.  I'm 6'3" and they sit pretty low.  I'm sure they'll have the adapter brackets as well for our e bodies.
