Rear Seat Delete

[Guest dq48]

 Worked on my rear seat delete today.  Carpet next.   If anyone wants one, I made a pattern that I can trace to paper and save lots of time should you want to do this project.

split the bottom and use a piano hinge on the 2 pieces and you'll have under seat storage...itworked for me

And if you're not gonna use the space under the (former) rear seat for storage, fill it with some kind of insulation--styrofoam, foam rubber etc.  You'd be amazed at how much differential and driveshaft noise that'll eliminate.

Is this just laying in place, or is it fastened down in some way?

It has a lip on the front bulkhead and aluminum brackets on each fender well and across the back bulkhead. It will lie in place mostly. It will have a stainless/chrome latch in the front to lift it out with. I wanted to leave it accessible for the future hot tub installation.  dq

Always wonder why folks don't just remove the vertical panel along the front of the seat and then just have a 'flat' floor back to the bulkhead?

 

 If you are building a race car, store your stuff at home.

Simeon, Your right, "leave your stuff at home"    Not building a track car so,wanted something a little "cleaner" than just the floor back there,and,being an old 356 builder this kinda struck a chord.
