Thanks, I agree!

I've been struggling today. This car is a 73 and has seat bolt spacing from side to side of about 13.5". all of the custom seats I robbed from the junkyard were from 74-75 firebirds and the spacings are 11.5"!!! So I spent most of the day cutting and welding just to get the seat in. It happens.

Now I just need to get the drivers seat recovered and installed.
