I lined up and drilled out holes for the front seat rails. I also sanded them down and gave them a coat of silver paint – I used that “hammered-look” paint which I’ve always found to be both attractive and durable. The front seat cushions were then lifted so I could bolt the rails onto the bottom of the seats. Once I got the seats mounted I tried the pilot’s seat on for size. I felt pretty comfortable. I have the seat in more of a reclining position and I may change that, but one of my biggest concerns at 6’4″ and 220lb, I thought I may always feel cramped, but I have plenty of leg room and head room. With the large strake cutouts in the doors, I should have lots of elbow room. I’m not sure if I will be able to fit both my 6’4″ boys in the back seats, tho. With my seat all the way back, there’s not a whole lot of passenger leg room left.
I also finished off mounting the rear seat supports onto the seat bottoms and glassed in the rear seat mount hard points in the floor.
