Front Seats in 1969 Stocker

Dan Fahey · 12-03-2013, 11:23 AM

My 1969 Impala Stocker is coming together.

I have re-upholstered the front Bench and Rear Seats a while back.
Based on rules back in the dark ages.
Now new Seat Requirements are out.

My goal is to have the new correct Racing Seats.
Need to know what they are now and who is using what Seat.
Best Configuration of the Roll Bar to get in and out of the car easily.

Thought it would be wise to have a better integration.
In some cars almost comical watching a driver squeez in and out.
Others get in and out seamlessly.

Want to see who has thought of this and get ideas how to best implement within the rules.

You can bend bars to suit you within the rules, but the one thing that finally made life much easier for me was to add a quick detach steering wheel adapter from Grant.

Just me speaking, but I would rather have the car with the bench seat intact. It just looks right in the car vs an aftermarket seat.
