Well, this thread is open for discussion again. I just sent my car to a shop and one of the first things they want to tackle is interior and safety. They have a deal/sponsorship with MoMo and would really like my car to be dressed in all MoMo interior. Unfortunately, my butt is still too big for any of their seats so I'm not sure how that is going to workout unless I drop another 30 lbs. However, Corbeau seems to have seats that fit my pant size of 40/42; however, I've heard they wear with usage.

I have the same wheel that Sneke Eyes has.
But I found it hard to get used to the smaller diameter.

Original wheel was 16", and the Grant was 14", and just didn't feel right to me.

I have a buddy who does leather work, and I think I'm going to have him cover my original wheel with blue leather to match my interior. I'm going to cover the wheel with some dense 1/8" think foam before I have him do the leather work, to thicken up the feel of the skinny wheel.

On seats, I didn't go aftermarket. I used Scion TC seats that I got off craig's for $200, they were already black and blue so the fit nicely into my interior. Very comfortable and hold me in place nicely

All of my cars have had smaller steering wheels than my Dart, so that's not an issue. It seems most people agree a 13-14" steering wheel is good. I have a 2011 Scion tC so my seats are a little bigger than yours and I feel comfortable. I was also thinking about seats from a Challenger or Charger.

I have Corbeau's and they are Junk, had a second set of covers in less than 6 months, the stitching wore out and they got sun faded in a year. I would use them to make new covers out of good material though. Tim

I used Scat Rally seats on mine. Good side support and comfortable though not a full race seat. The appearance works well in a muscle MOPAR, brackets are available to fit almost anything and reasonable cost (Summit). In the post above you mentioned Challenger or Charger seats... assume you mean the new versions. Original seats in my '70 Challenger were nothing to write home about.

Current (OE) wheel is about 15" and plan to change to a 14" rally wheel whenever I decide to spend the money on the kinda expensive version I like.

I made a leather wrapped thick wheel out of the tuff wheel look alike from Grant. For me its great, but was too expensive to make as a product. In the Dart I run old Flofit seats I bought new. Currently, I would purchase anything but a Recaro or a Sparco. The other aftermarket seats like Corbeau have a very flimsy frame. An OE Recaro seat may be a better choice.

The problem with most race seats is that they're not setup for wide people. I wear a 40/42 pant size and it seems like Corbeau is the only ones who makes decent seats for them. The good things about Corbeau that I've found out is that they hold you well and are comfortable. The bad, they wear quick (4-5 years was the average that mostly came up) and their brackets are junk.

The problem I didn't think about with an OEM seat is that I can't really have more than a 3-point seat belt.

I agree. I've had good luck using modern bucket seats with good bolsters from a modern performance car and have then recovered to match the interior.

This is kinda cool. I see the Procar Rallys are now available naked so you can trim then to match your interior.

He said, Momo could make me a custom seat, but he didn't seem too enthused about that idea. He was going to try to get Momo to sponsor my interior; however, I'm turning it down because it will cost me more money and for them to make a custom seat (even with a huge discount) and a sticker on my car would look too busy with the trim. Maybe when I get to paint and body I'll revamp the interior again I'll think about a sponsorship.

I've helped make a custom carbon fiber seat in Baja before and it is not a fun job.

I guess I am old school, but I hate today's fat steering wheels, I like the thin ones.
