Re: '57 2Dr Sedan

Many years ago when I first installed the 67 buckets I did a combination of using the original bench seat mounting bolt holes and home made brackets from 1/8'' steel angle. Only drilling new holes as needed for the inner seat brackets. Plan was and still is to be able to switch back and forth as desired from the original bench seat to the buckets. Have a "deep throw'' 55-57 bench seat shifter installed which clears the bench. Will not be running a center console as it changes the over all "look" of the interior considerably with a bench or bucket arrangement. Will be looking into getting the bucket seats rebuilt as needed and then having them re-upholstered in same pattern and material.
