    A guy had one at Carlisle too. I saw a pic of it a while back.

    Not an easy swap, but a neat one nonetheless.

    First mod I did was the 2004 Tiberon Leather seats. Here they are at junk yard when I just pulled them from the 2004 Tiberon. 125 for the pair in mint condition.

    Here are 1x1 tube seat frame adapters I machined and welded up. Seats are level to tenth degree and dead nuts centered with steering wheel.

    I plug welded 1/8 plates to floor on the tunnel side seat mounts area because the bench seat has no enforcement there. There are dimples in floor pan from Ford where tunnel side bucket seat holes would go so I drilled those open.

    Here are seats in.

    Here is complete ignition set up I scored cheap off a friend, he even brought it to my house. LOL

    Also picked up this little AJE Colt 65 front end kit. I got SBF and Mod motor mounts to try different things.
