Lowering seat pans - 67/68

[blu67]

Anyone lowered seat pans in a 67/68? I plan on putting in 2001 Bullitt seats (when I get to that point) but wondered if it was better/easier to modify the original seat pans to lower them or get the 69 seat pans and weld them in after removing the originals. The 2001 Bullitt seats are quite a bit taller than the originals so I thought I would do this now.

I did both, I originally modified the drivers side to lower it. It was a big improvement. Later my wife asked that I do the passenger side. On that one I just bought a 69 pan and replaced the original. It was a lot easier IMO.

So are the 59 Pans Lower?

the 69 are !

Easiest thing to do is just kinda slouch down a bit lower in the stock seat set-up.

yes, 69 seat pans are indeed lower. It's an easy way to give yourself some headroom without slouching! Not as easy as slouching though...

I have the Mustangs to Fear ABS headliner and it gave me another inch of headroom, but I I can always use a little more.

Duct tape. The alternative seam sealer.

It was to cover some speaker wires I had running along the tunnel at one point.

Uh-huh...probably there to cover up the real ugly welds.
