Maybe you best buy a current NHRA rule book, and get yourself "up to speed" on what is & isn`t allowed in Stock Eliminator.

Correct on the 500 models being avaliable with a bucket seat option in advertising lititure though I never saw any station wagons with them. They can not be the later model "High Back" style seats. Because of the lack of rules in this dept. in both NHRA and IHRA the seats should at least look correct and be the correct style and have the right seat backs. An early style car with high back seats from a Duster or Demon looks like crap from a visual stand point. The upholstery style dosent matter. I see lots of NHRA and IHRA cars with incorrect seats but no body bitches.
