" I just saw a Jaco Pastorius documentary", Haven't seen one, was it upbeat?, because a lot of his life was sad. We went to HS together. We contracted him to play our HS dances.
Oh, rear axle lower U bolt plates?

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I thought for second that the A-100 van seats were the subject of your question. Yes, they are nostalgic but also rather light (19 or so Lbs each) and comfy for what they are. Headrest a must for racing when a roll bar/cage is present. Detachable an option. I now know this since a little whipping on the neck can present a stiff neck and missing gears in an automatic. LOL. DVW's seating is a great example of a light and oldie goodie. He's got some super covert tricks in those seats.
I've thought of messing with the frames way back, but I also thought, that is where my body mass is nestled and strapped into, so I chose not to play in that sand box, especially for a street car. Now mind you, I could get a pair of much lighter weight race seats if that's what you are referring too, but it defeats the purpose of visual deception. I'm just a sucker for those stockers of yore.
Man it can be said especially in the ounce count and gram programs, that it only gets super harder to shed compared to the humble beginning trimmings. On that note, I know the project is knocking on the 2900 mark door very soon if not there already, but just have not had time to scale it again aside from running it lately. When I reach that watershed number, I'll be sure to be on this board announcing it faster than a Government server.

Where as the plastic seats find strength and less mass with their molded composition, the A100 seats which by chance were also used on the Hurst Hemi Darts and Cuda's found their light weightlessness in a very spartan frame work underneath. Rather cheap for those low grade work vans they were standard on. The foam and fabric were miniscule at best. A-100's, Their only draw backs is no upper/neck/head support. Ford Thunderbolts, Merc Comets, Battlestar Galaxies and I believe a few Chevy 11's had a version of them also.
By the way, the original split front bench seat with hardware was 100 Lbs total. Probably a little less for the ones on A-cars.

Yes they are. The car is more of an anti social piece, no one sits in the passenger seat since who remembers. It's brand new looking where there is a little wear and tear on the drivers side. Once the drivers side seat wears out, all I'll do is switch it with the passenger side seat and we're back to refresh look mode. LOL All that is taken off and replaced is saved since all this Mopar paraphernalia is hard to find these days, especially the early B-body stuff.
