67 Camaro Build

While messing with the rear down bar I thought, now would be a good time to check the driver’s seat clearance to the rollbar. Not too bad, that’s with the seat adjusted all the way back. Looks like I’ll have all the factory legroom, bonus!

On the other side, I guess that the passenger seat will probably not have quite as much legroom, maybe an inch or so less. Me and Mrs. 7dee2 are on the short side so it’s all good.

It’s been a very long time but I don’t recall the driver’s seat cover being so misaligned, dagnabbit. My OCD can’t handle looking at that all the time!

The Camaro is back on 4 wheels again and the appointment with the upholsterer is coming up soon. I need to finish fitting the backseat frame, then they will put it all back together modifying the seat covers as needed. They’ll also install the headliner, sail panels, visors, rearview mirror, coat hooks, and recover the rear armrests. And of course, I’ll have them address the driver’s seat cover alignment.

Since the driver's front seat cover is so far off, I checked the passenger seat as well (2nd & 3rd pics). The cover is aligned nicely but the back will not latch in the upright position. So, both front seats require some tweaking to be acceptable.

Sat the backseat top frame in the car for a look-see. Yep, it’s going to need more of a notch than the bottom did.

It's the same deal as before with the bottom, didn’t remove the cover completely. I don’t want to lose this cover's alignment that matches up so well with the bottom.

Removed and turned back the side springs then cut both sides, set it back in the car to see where to bend. A small nick with the cutoff wheel and then shaped it to clear, easy peasy! Here’s both upper and lower pieces back in the car to see what we’ve got, good to go for now.

Almost forgot to mention, yes, I did mark the area where the rollbar down bar will pass through. It looks like it will get into the upper back a little more than the bottom. Decided to collaborate with the upholstery shop on the best way to modify this area.
