Ok so for those who don't know (probley all of you) I'm a rather tall guy. I stand about 6'7" and most of it is in my legs. Before i took out my interior i sat down and realized that If i do get a manual transmission with my V-8 upgrade i'm not going to have alot of leg room with the current classic seats.
The seats are really uncomfortable to me anyhow so i figured i would just put in new racing seats or something of that sort. So i was looking at some seats and toying with how i would allow the seat to be installed further back to create more leg room and i realized that the backseat would have no room for any normal person to sit in it, then i wondered why i needed a back seat in the first place.
So my thought train moved into a car without the backseat and maybe an area that could be used for storage/ place for my dog to lay down in the back without tearing up leather seats/ put grociers etc (this is a dayly driver). I have a trunk you say? well i eventually plan to put in a decent size sound system in the trunk (nothing huge i've had 12"s before might just get a couple of 10"s and put them in the sides of the trunk etc.
So now that ive made you read my life story, here is my question:
Have any of you guys/gals made some type of custom backseat compartment for a 1966 mustang or any other year for that matter? I was thinking something as simple as some sheet metal that is shaped to put a "platform" over the backseat and backseat floor panel going all the way back to the opening to the trunk. I would also build a "trap door" to store some basic tools / car jack and a place for a spare tire to rest (probley more in the trunk area).
Seen any setups like this?
