Well I am at it again last time I fit Jeep Wrangler seats into my mustangs (fronts only). Well today I was helping my older brother tear down his Camaro till he got tired of it and decided to scrap it. I sat there and eye balled all the seats, front and back, till I said what the heck lets see if they fit. THEY WILL WORK!!!! Yes there are some modifications and I know it is a little bit of an irony but they look good and they are fully adjustable. I like doing things a little bit out of the ordinary (hate doing whats already been done), so it is a little wierd but they are a dime a dozen in the junk yards and a bonus is they are cloth. The cloth is my prefered because I have kids. It is getting dark out side but in the morning I will take pictures and show how I did it. It is not much modifications for the front seats but the back takes a little more but for a COMPLETE set of seats I just can't beat it:kooky:

Carbon Fiber Bumpers & Hood

Does anyone know of a job shop that could make carbon fiber bumpers and hoods for our cars? The front bumper is boat anchor heavy. A carbon fiber bumper with aluminum supports to replace the rams and a fiber hood would remove a lot of weight.

Very very strange!

Strange things i come across when surfing the web....-->
The 1974 introduction of the Mustang II earned Ford Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year honors and actually returned the car to more than a semblance of its 1964 predecessor in size, shape and overall styling. Iacocca insisted that the Mustang II be finished to quality standards unheard of in the American auto industry. Though the Mustang II boasted many superior handling and engineering features, its performance by today's standards could be described as only "mediocre" � however, equal to other Ford or Detroit products of the day. The Mustang II was positioned to compete head-on with many foreign sports car imports that were hitting the market at that time. The Toyota Celica and the Datsun 280Z were its main competitors. Available as a coupe or three-door hatchback, the new car's base engine was a 140 cu in (2.3 L) SOHC I4, the first fully metric engine built in the U.S. for installation in an American car. A 171 cu in (2.8 L) V6 was the sole optional engine. Mustang II packages ranged from the base "Hardtop," 2+2 hatchback, a "Ghia" luxury group with vinyl roof, and a top of the line V6-powered Mach 1. The popular V8 option would disappear for the first and only time in 1974 (except in Mexico). Mustangs lost their pillarless body style; all models now had fixed rear windows and a chrome covered "B" pillar that resembled a hardtop, but in fact was a coupe. In Mustang advertisements, however, Ford promoted the notchback coupe as a "Hardtop." Sales for the Mustang II increased in 1974, making it the 6th best selling Mustang of all time with 296,041, units sold. <------

NOW did anyone notice somthing strange in there??:smartass:
