might pull the trigger for a SS CAMARO seat set front and rear .
seen pic of the fronts installed but no how to's or write ups
was wondering if my plan will work\
have bench out for new carpet anyways
if i get bucket bracket kit "loose" attach them to bottom of SS front seat inner rails
outter rails hold them in place ( if front to back spacing is the same ) or cut rear off floor move it back a s needed?
then weld them in??

as for the rear (cause I'd want them to match )
how to secure them to the car
do they even fit?

I have a set in my 85 Camaro. I'm sure the front would fit fairly good with Gbody brackets/rails. Might need to make a small bracket?
As for the rears, I think you will have some problems. The Fbodies have 2 styles, split rear and a full rear back rest. The split ones will be a pain to mount because there are pins/dowels welded to the hump in the tunnel in the Fbody and the seat have a female socket (don't know what it called) that slide in. On the outer sides of the backrest you would need to weld a couple of L brackets with a hole drilled in them for the seat bolt. As for the rear bottom bucket I think the contour would be off. They are nice seats, I think lots of fab work for the rear.
