12:05 Garage- ’70 Duster build

Last year at Cruising the Coast autocross, I had a Moparty friend ride with me and I rode with him in his Demon. His first comment was how much better I would do with a better seat. I always thought my seats were pretty good. After riding in his car that has much more supportive seats, I realized I needed to do something. Not looking to replace the fronts I have permanently, I figured I'd just get a driver seat for race days and just make it a simple drop in. Turns out racing seats aren't necessarily cheap, so I let it the idea go. I've been slowly selling unneeded parts on Marketplace and ran across a guy selling a racing seat in my area for a decent price. So here it is. Maybe I won't need to brace my knees on the console and door anymore.

Nice!

Seems I read somewhere one time that in a Foxbody they have to add bracing to the floor as well. Seems that while a good seat can hold you well, in the Rustang the seat itself moves around a bunch and they lose some of the benefits of the good seat.

Not sure if our cars could have a similar problem, but might be something to think about as you are working this in.

Can't wait to see how you come up with a quick disconnect so you can swap between the 2 seats. :D

I was teasing a buddy last weekend about this. He has a BB Dart and a '67 Belvedere and only one set of seats. I told him he needed to figure out how to make the seats swappable between the 2 so he doesn't have to spend money on a second interior.
