How would he fix the lean in his seat? Have you fixed that before when working on someone's interior?

Haven't figured out what to do for seats yet, there its 1 set on Ebay I'm watching and if they don't get to high I might be able to get them

You could cut the "broken" foam out, and glue in a new piece, sculpt it with an electric carving knife, then high grit sandpaper to mirror the contour on the other side. That might get rid of your lean. http://www.secondchancegarage.com/public/116.cfm

its not the foam that has the lean its the actual seat.. po was 6'8 280lbs and drove with the seat reclined back.. i had another buddy who has a 96 impala ss that did the same thing.. mines not that bad but if im going through the work i want it right.

Ah yah, that sucks. No sense doing it if its not right

You could always swap in seats from any other vehicle. You'd just have to fab up some brackets to change from the seat bolts to your stock seat tracks. I have a buddy that put power Camaro seats in his OBS pickup, came out awesome.

I swapped some Grand Am buckets into my old S-10 Blazer, they had lumbar supports and side bolsters, and sat about 2" lower than the stock Blazer seats - worked out great, as I didn't have much headroom @ 6'7.

You could swap any buckets you want, as long as they aren't wider than the factory seats.


Find some heated and powered Corvette seats..... nice.... than make the brackets to place them at the height you want.

i thought about doing corvette seats but it will be really hard to match the back with them. right now it isnt a big deal because of the carseats .. im actually thinking since i cant find black leather seats im going to look for another color and just dye them.. ive been watching a set on ebay but they are already up to 400(+200 shipping) and the auction doesnt end till the 12th.
