i want to put a bench seat in the front of my maro

why? i dont know i think it will be cool

how? im not sure, doesnt anyone know of a bench seat that is a similar size as the front of the maro

has anyone done this before, i mean its kind of odd, but i think it would look sweet

also I'd like to put in a 4th gen dash and a 3 foot tall shifter with a tiki *** head shift ****, but ill need a 5 spoeed before that can happen

but one thing at a time

bench seat anyone??

 

how ya gonna manage that with the trans tunnel in the way?

 

some bench seats area for a trans tunnel in the bench seat, on the bottom

my ma's old grand marque went over a trans tunnel, most newer bench seats have a spot for a tranyy


it might not be enough tho. but that when i get my saw-zaw

 

let me know how it turns out.

imo, it would look ghetto

imagine a person in the middle with the T tops off lol

 

i dont think you would seat anyone in the middle, i think it is to ease the difficulty of certain activaties not easily performed in bucket seats.

 

Well the person in the midle has to deal with a lower roof in the center (if t-tops) and a shifter in the crotch. What you are you going to do about the center console?

 

I think im going to be sick...

 

I hate to sound negative or to criticize anyone's idea, but that sounds as appealing as a girl with three ****....

***MOD EDIT***

Please watch what you post. Thanks!

 

what would you do with the shifter?

 

Never had a problem with that in my seats lol, either in my 3rd gen or in my second gen..

 

well the console would be gone

I would have to make my automatic a stick, and put a tall shifter on it, with a bend

and i dont see whats wrond with 3 ( . )( . )( . )
3 is better than 2

no one would sit in the middle, that would just look Mexi-tastic

and i dont think it would look bad as long as the interior would match, and the bench seat have a low back.

but can anyone think of a car with banch seat that might fit, and not one of those split benches, a full on bench, maybe one of a truck? hmmmm

 

hell camino!

 

yes, possibly an el camino or any small pickup of your choice may have what you're looking for..

I personally have no problem with a bench seat.. as long as your goal isn't to have a g-machine where lateral support is a main concern, then its fine. My old man has a '53 plymouth that I've taken out from time to time, and its great to be cruising with a lady friend up next to you American Graffiti style..

 

thats what im talking about

 

I think someone wants to get laid!

 

well thats a given but i dont think a bench seat will help me with that, I just think a bench seat would look cool and retro

 

LMAO

lol, get an El Camino, man.. i dont think a bench would look right...

 

would a G body steering column with the granny shifter fit in a third gen.....

 

the column will physically fit, but i'm not sure how you would hook it up...


please, don't ask how i know.

 

get a el camino and put the thirdgen front end on it

 

interesting idea but any bench seat is gonna hafta sit way high to clear the hump in an fbody, just look at the backseats
our seats already sit below the hump, AND drop in some more in the seat cushion to give you the needed headroom

 

well i also want to chop the top on my maro, but that isnt for anytime soon

also i want to bag it, and make it all wheel drive

but i dont know if that is "Physically" possible, at least not with a twin turbo ls1 i want to put in

 

Well, anything is possible, but, uh.. yeah. good luck with that....


Why dont you make it mid engine, all wheel drive, while you're at it. :P

 

if i had the time, money, know how, and resources i would, but im kinda dumb, i just like to dream

and it would have to be mid engine

 

u know one day i hope to be as fast as superman!


....

 

Being Superman is not a fantasy for me; It's an Option.

 

They do make a cable that replaces the rods on a column mount shifter. Saves alot of space.

 

I love this site!

 

Oh wow... I must say this site is always good for a few laughs...

 

bench seats in a third gen..........no!

If you are gonna fabricate that though might as well make the back seats bench too!Youll have a 6 seater third gen lol

Wait ,go the whole 9 yards and throw some rumble seats in the back

then who ever is sitting back there can make funny faces at the ppl driving behind you

 

I agree....only on TGO

LMFAO



****, maybe you could pop the hatch and put a rumble seat back there too!

 

If you do ,do this.You know you have to grow a muhllit right.

Unless of course you already have one

 

well im not that big a fan of camaro's anyway, the only reason i have a thirdgen is because i got a great ****in deal on it and its a fairly good car for me to flog. So really i dont give a ****

I would have a muhlet but my GF wont let me grow one, besides i mean muhletss and maro's go together like canadians and crappy beer. Ill bet half of you out there have/had or will have muhletss.

a rumble seat would just look dumb, besides it would work right with the hatch, and if i mount the engine in the middle/rear, then the people in the rumble seats would get some hot asses.

Besides my speaker box is in the trunk

btw, why wont it say mull3t

 

Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

because its a bad word

 

Yep, one in the back for slow dancing !!

 

DOH... the humanity !!

 

okay, you had me thinking you were serious up until the AWD idea. Now I'm praying this is a gag. If you've worked on cars and are at all familiar with the design of an f-body, you'll realize it's impossible to do this without mounting the entire body onto a pickup frame.... and then you talk about lowering it!

Also... "canadians and crappy beer"... dude, Canadian Beers are awesome! now i'm thinking you're just plain nutz

 

i am serious about the bench seat idea, I'm a hot rodder at heart, and nothing says ol school kroozer like a bench seat and a chop top.

and canadian beer sucks, it sucks really bad, it makes me want to go to rehab, again

now mexico has some good beers, if you think corona is good, corona is like the PBR of mexico

there is not going to be an AWD in the ****-maro, there might be a TT LS1and i might bag it, but not anytime soon, its already been lowered about 2 inches

and everyone on this board is so afraid to try something different that they think it is fun to try and trash a new idea because they havent ever seen it before, well if you dont like my idea eat ****, and if you are supportive, thanks

 

k well its nice to dream about what u would like in a thirdgen. i dream all the time of what i want my perfect thirdgen to be. and noone tries anything new anymore cuz its all been done or not exactly easy to do unless ur filthy rich.

and to u, canadian beer might be crap, but we get to drink 2 years before u do, legally. and corona sucks and yeah canadian beer isnt that great but its better than most american beer.

 

Wow, ur gonna fit in here

 

well before this thread gets out of hand Rabbit, i really dont care to impress anyone, especially not you, so 4uck-off

secondly, not to start any internation disputes but,

AMERICAN BEER >>>>>>>>canadian beer
not in all cases but in most cases, ie Le batte > Colt 45

 

hahaha

just letting u know that if let us know that u dont like thirdgens and dont mind making them look like **** (which, in turn, makes us look more and more moronic and hickish), u are gonna be hard pressed to get some help out of us...


...a$$hole

 

This thread is a prime example of why folks shouldn't post when they are drunk.

 

Your from BC:

awsome...

 

exactly how is a bench seat and chop top a "new idea"?

 

A) im not drunk, nor was i when i posted

B) Im not trying to make my camaro look like ****, i think a bench seat would look cool in one, thats why i am going to do it. Just because camaro's aren't my favorite cars, doesnt mean i want to make mine look like ****. I think the regular ol run of the mill camaro's get boring, and everyone and their brother puts 4th gen seat in a maro, or pretty much all the same stuff, it gets repedative after a while. So why dont you go and try to copy everyone elses car and GTFO

 

Looking at this realistically, unless you have to sit on a phone book to see over the dash to drive your car now, there's no way you'll fit in this when you're done. Thanks for the good thread, I needed a couple of laughs today!

 

 

Ill bet you have a muhllett

you dont have to lie to kick it.Only a guy with a muhllet can think of putting bench seats in a 3rd gen.I have a feeling you look like joe dirt
