Re: I'm falling in love with my blazer again!

Yes it's a 87 blazer rear seat.The top corners were square so I cut the frame and welded some round tubing to match the seat cover.We added some foam to bulk up the back and bottom and installed the 71 covers.The seat folds and flips up.I cut the brackets 2" on the buckets and bench cause I like to sit low and ride lowThanks.

Ok. In the pic it looks like the seat is sitting on the floor. I'm gonna have a hump for my notch so mine can't sit that low but I'm wondering if it's comfortable to sit back there with the seat that low?
I am planning on dropping the legs down so it's almost sitting on the notch but was wondering if would be uncomfortable for an adult. Kid's will be sitting back there most of the time but if I come visit you and wanna take you and your friend for a ride.......

The seat is actually about an inch off the floor and is pretty comfy because the new foam raises you up some.It is mostly for the kids.When the grown ups go cruise my short friends ride in the back
