[FC] bucket seats in a Greenbrier

[Merv and or Loretta]

I think you should install a set of seats from an autocrosser c/w 5 point
harness. Then, install really tall front springs and one way shocks, or,
better yet, remove the front shocks altogether. The purpose of the harness
will become very evident, but man! what fun!
Seriously, do some walking around where you can check out seats handily...
maybe a pick a parts place? Check out JCWhitney too. You need to find seats
that have no more than 3" of depth on the seat bottom. The frame also needs
to curve over the wheel wells a bit. Perhaps take a length of steel rod,
3/16" and bend it in the same shape as the end of the seat frame and take it
with you as you search. Custom building bucket seats might be an option. If
it works out well, you could go into the Bucket Seats For FCs business!
Gook Luck!
