Thanks Stewart.
If all we wanted was comfort we wouldn't be into old cars.
But if I can make it comfy I will.

There is still plenty to sort out after the paint goes on, most important is comfort of driving position.

Sure was, so much fun playing in puddles.

As for comfortable driving position, I reckon that's what kills most projects. People never take the time to get that right and knowing you Trev you will drive the wheels off of it!
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

Trev, A Rodeo bucket bench will give you about a 2 inch drop and the back flips forward for easy access to the back. Will bolt up to stock holes at the back Front holes are about 1/2 inch out but no slip in bracket. I had one in my Van.

Don't really need to flip forward seeing it's still a 4 door.

90-93 Trev. You'd be surprised how much the flip forward comes in handy.
