<VV> Custom Seats/Interiors

[Brown, Douglas T CIV NAVAIR DEPT]

I owned a '67 Monza conv't and replaced my worn out front 
buckets with Recaro aftermarket seats.  They fit beautifully, 
requiring only fabrication of "L" shaped brackets to bolt it 
down to the stock locations.  Picture available on request.  
I lucked out that a fellow SDCC member had them for a great 
price, and they were blue to match my interior!  I have also 
seen stock '89-'93 Mustang seats in LM's and they looked good.  
Ryan might want to check the V8 website to see what other V8 
owners have used, or check Gary Aube's site for more ideas.

Subject: <VV> Custom Seats

To follow up on Ryan Counterman's question about custom interiors, I thought
it would be helpful for VV members to list different types of seats that
have been converted to VV use, since the seats are one item that the factory
did a poor job on, in my opinion.  The idea is that a search for "custom
seats" in the VV archive could quickly pull up a lot of good fits.  I was
just looking on eBay at seats today, and there are many seats available.  If
you wanted to upgrade your seats, it would be much easier to search it there
were a list of good candidates available.

I already mentioned Kent Sullivan's Sebring convertible conversion.  Any
others?  Please identify the model and year of the donor car and the year of
the recipient Vair.
