I've got a pair of bucket seats from a 67 Barracuda that I was going to recover and put in my Coronet to replace the bench seat. The problem is they seem heavier than my bench or darn close.

Any ideas on how to lighten them besides replacing the tracks with aluminum?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I used summit seats and had them uhpolstered to match my stock interior. These are pretty light.

Yes I made the seat mounting brackets. But they are not adjustable, because the car has a roll bar and the seat has to be braced to the roll bar.

Next stupid question. Does anybody make lowbacks that are light? My car is old school and wouldn't look right with highbacks IMO.

By the way, nice job indeed
