Back Seats Mod

Back Seats Mod
ok, when i first bought this car the carpet smelled like mildow. I RIPPED IT ALL OUT. The only thing I kept was the rear carpet rug that sits in the trunk area. I normally refer to that as the bed area. Now my issue is that when i did take out the carpet i took off the backing of the rear seats. its pretty weird looking now. I have been wanting to put diamond platting in this area and bolt it to the back of the seat. However I feel this would look weird cause I dont have diamond plate anywhere else on my rig. any ideas???

yeah i thought about sheet metal as well. i also need a way of cutting the metal... all i have is a 26 gallon air compressor, a cutting tool, impact gun, and a dremel... i am sure i can cut with those items though.

this is what it looks like now... my plan is to cut sheet metal to shape and size of the seat. Then figure out a way to bold it on there. I will line the edges of the metal with door frame trim... hope to get the metal tomorrow.

Make sure you stock up on the band aids bro! The sheet metal does sound kinda cool, i have a couple boxers and i don't think they'd appreciate me doing something like that. Post pix when your done i'd like to see it.

Can you get white plastic cutting boards big enough (HDPE)? Look in the yellow pages and search under "plastic" and make a few phone calls to see what you can get. If they have any left over scraps from larger sheets it should be cheap and never rust.

Yeah I got a pit bull and he gets his paws stuck in the seat all the time.... I gotta do something. Plus, I want to use metal so I can put anchors into the back of the seats. I have a little girl and need a way to anchor her car seats in.

My carpet was toast as well. The carpet on the back of the seats is sewn onto the rear cargo carpet, so I cut the stitching out so I could still have the back of the seats. Just another idea instead of sheet metal.

Yeah... Hind sight, wish I would have kept the backing on there. Heading to salvage yard Saturday for lots of parts... Other than that. Found sheet metal in a junk pile at my dads farm... I'm going to clean I up and cut it to size Thursday night for sure.
