    Check these out, they swivel too, maybe could swivel it a little to get in the back seat? Just wondered if anyone has these and can verify this. I believe 74Challenger has em but not sure. These look very similar to the picture posted at the start of this thread.

     Those look like the same seats I looked at at Kragens, EXCEPT Jegs DO tilt forward and can lay totally flat with the upper side lever, but I don't think they swivel sideways which is fine. Too bad the price is twice as much as the Kragen ones, because that's exactly what I need them to do, then the kids can get in the back seat.
      Hemi6T8 has the summit ones in his Charger and they look really good in it.
     Thanks for the link, I guess I'll start saving. I wanted to keep the stock seats, but It's going to cost way more to replace and recover everything I need too, as well as find a good upper for my drivers seat.
     So unless I find a good cheap drivers seat and a few other pieces, I'll probably go this route.

     Well I went back to Kragens to see how they felt sitting in them, and they fit my 5'2 wife just fine, but for me (6'5) the upper part that flares out presses my shoulders forward way too much and doesn't feel comfortable at all... :(
     So it looks like i'll just keep looking.

    Evil, Go back and look at those Omni seats Ragtop has.  I like the stock Chally interior, but those Omni seats look good.

     Thanks for the ideas everyone. I saw those Omni seats and they look nice. That may be an option, if I don't find a replacement drivers seat.

    I put a set of seats from a Mitusbishi Eclipse. They're black with the silver center sections. They also have a similar highback look of the original ones. Got the set for a 100 bucks. They wanted 350 each to restore the originals. NOT!!! The car has black interior so it goes well. I havn't seen anyone mention the floor boards. Part of the reason that I went with Eclipse seats is the floor rails are perfectly flat and easy to install without shimming. But the floor boards of the car are not. Its a 70 Grand Coupe. But I'm sure that all years have the same floor boards. I hadd to remove the "humps" in the floor along the outer sections to end up with a flat floor. I re-welded a flat section and simulated the bracing underneath. If I had set the seats on the humps in the floor and shimmed the inner sides my head would have been through the roof or I would have to have reclined the seat and tried to drive practicaly laying on my back.


    Anyone else have a floor board issue???
