Kirkey Seats finally done....

Only took me a year, but I finally got the passenger side seat bracket made and the seat is mounted. Turned out ok, the double locking slider works nice and smooth. The adjustable back brace is at a more severe angle than I would like, but when a real roll bar gets installed that problem will go away. And I couldn't for the life of me get the passenger side seat to sit as low as the driver side seat without sectioning the floor, which was not an option. The hump in the passenger side floor for the catalytic converter total screws things up on that side. So the passenger side is probably about 1-1/2 inches higher than the driver side, not a huge deal more of a visual thing than a comfort or fitment issue. And I generally don't sit on that side, so not a big deal.

I incorporated an attachment point under the seat for the sub belt, so when I get around to putting new belts in I'll be good to go.

Now the car doesn't look all clapped out with only one seat in it.

Here's some pics.
