So I was thinking of making bucket seats out of 2sets of split bench seats. Wondering if it is possible to use the bottom of the drivers side of the split bench on the passengers side and attaching the passengers side upper to it to create the bucket effect that will leave me just enough space for a center console. Any thoughts on the matter

I've seen a set of 60/40 turned into a 40/40 bucket set up. The center seat was cut off & the edge was made to mirror the drivers side.

I have done that a couple times, here's a really old picture of my Monte with the 60 seat cut down the interior was from my 81' Regal.

A couple reasons why this way does not work is the driver's seat base on the passenger side would put the clearanced side for the center hump at the passenger door and the back of the passenger seat won't fit correctly on the driver's side bottom because it tilts forward the opposite way.
