Pretty neat car. I worked on the stick shift test rollers at the end of the final line at Dearborn Assembly when that car was built.

Fitting Kirkey seats is not just a bolt in. The problem is the roll bar design won't let me have the seat back tilted enough so I will need to use a different steering wheel with less dish. We are mounting the Kirkey brackets to the stock seat tracks that will need to be modified.

I have that seat in my 68 coupe, but my cage looks to be about 4 inches farther back than yours. I had to fabricate a four inch riser to set the Kirkey mounts on to get the height right. I used the Kirkey back brace. Quite an upgrade from the Jegs poly seats I used to run when I first built the car.

Good to see you dust this off. Keep us posted on your progress.

Modified seat track. This is the passenger side test fitting on a customers 69 Mustang we are restoring.

I never noticed that your car had ''Boss'' quarters on it. Has or will it ever be a problem with NHRA?

I raced in 1971 at Indy and the Grandnationals in Canada with no problem. Going through tech at the World Finals in Texas the Division 4 and 6 Tech Directors wanted me to install the scoops before they would let me race. Finally after a lot of discussion with the help of my Division 2 Tech Director they said I could race but not to show up at Pomona without scoops. We had to cut the quarters and fabricate a bracket to hold the scoops since my car was made without scoops. When I restored it in 2005 I filled in the scoops.
