hey,i have a 89 that i am building for a drag car.
i am in the proces of installing my cage and seat i was wondering what some of you used as far as seat brackets if you built your own or purchased some frome some where else.
if not to much trouble could you post some pics of you interior
thanks for the help

 

I purchased a set from Ed Quay. The driverside is adjustable and the passenger is stationary. They were $119 for the set. they worked great and the best part is they bolt up to the stock locations

 

thanks does he have a web site or where would i order from thanks again for the help

I fabricated my own from some aluminum channel. My seat sits lower and farther back than what the factory mounts allow.

Interior shots?

 

thanks for the interior shots,
i think thats what i am going to do i jusst checked out eds web site and those are pretty pricey.
our newborn takes a lot of cash so i am on a major budget with this build as soon as i get it going i will post some pics for you.
the build is a 89 camaro with a ls1 6 speed its going to be a 383 with a lot of boost but thanks for the help

 

so ls1, 6 speed, boost and a budget....



riiiiiiight. good luck with that. is your budget 30k?

 

-Get some 1" square tube x .120 wall

-Cut the studs off the floor pan rails where the seat bolts.

-Determine if you need to be lower for head clearance, if so, notch the floor pan rails and lay in 1" sq. tube.

-Get 3/8" weld-in threaded inserts from Coleman Racing. Drill tube where necessary and weld inserts.

-Weld tubes to floor.

-Drill holes in seat, bolt to tubes with Grade 8 hardware.

I'm 6'3" with a big head and this lets me sit low enough to keep my head below the main hoop. The best part is that it only cost me about $30

 

thanks, that sounds good thats really my problem i am 6"3 and feal kinda like i have no leg room at all, so i was really wanting to move it back closer to the rear also.

and yes i have a tight budget becouse of our newborn.but i already have a lot of the stuff to do it with.
and for a lot of stuff i have traded people for other parts i need
but thanks for the help in this and as soon as i get time i wil post some pics of some of the stuff

 

Its not hard to pay for LS1 stuff. I know of a lot of younger guys around my age building some pretty healthy ls1s. Im 19 and we are not rich at all and Im doing a lot of **** to my car. I have cheap land payment, girlfriend goes to school and works, I work for my dad doing heating and air. I say No kids do it now so you dont have the bills..I was going to do a nasty Ls1 but I want to stick to old school. I dont want to wires, and I like the look of a carb. I want to keep it simple, Id love to do an aluminum small block. But Im not very smart when it comes to LS motors. I will be running a 2 stage nitrous kit..this is a street car not a drag car so it might be cheaper or more moeny idk but with tubro or blower..your going to save money in the long run. I would spend a $100 every other friday night in bottles when my car was stock. Over a summer a superchager would almost pay for itself. But yes I have a problem, I addicted to spray

 

I didn't think about it the other day but here's a pic of my interior from last year:



And a pic where you can see the tubes:

 

that looks and what a cage that is major looks great i just got to work on mine some today i put my pedals in and my manual brake mastercylnder mabe i can get some pics up soon i to have always had nitrous cars i just wanted to try something new i am going to have a tubler k memeber for sale soon if any body needs one

 

That's a road race cage. It's overkill for a drag car.
