got bored, made rear seat delete.

[pistonhead351]

well it took two weekends and a 20 dollar bill. what do you guys think?

 

[DMAN302]

I like it!!! any reduction in the famous hatch rattles?

 

[pistonhead351]

yeah, and the air conditiong is great!!!!

 

[Busted07]

Do you have any specs, templates.. anything like that a certain other hatch owner could use?

 

[spiff]

Awesome! I just made one too out of nice particle board, I need to upholster it, right now its that black finish that you see on some furniture like Ikea stuff.. I'll get pics of mine too.

I did notice a major reduction in rattle noises.

 

[mob]

thats amazing, wondering how much weight did you save? and how much weight can it support? if you wanna have someone back there can they lay on it?

 

[GT89Mustang]

Whats it made out of? We need info, can it hold a decent amount of weight?

 

[pistonhead351]

im sure you could lay on, but i wouldnt.probably
took off 40 pounds or so. i am working on templates right now. and yes a major reduction in buzzes and rattles.

 

[DMAN302]

DAMN THAT BABY SEAT!!! well I can't do it, but you sure have done a fine job.

If you have either the measurements or actually get some like drafting paper and trace it, ill help you recover some of that 20 bucks you spent

just be thankful yours and my wife have let us keep our stangs and continue to mod them when we have kids.

its really easy to do. get some particle board. get a BIG card board box make your templet out of cardboard then put it on the wood and cut it out.

looks really good man

Id bet you saved about 15lbs most. The rear seats arent that heavy at all. Plus factor in the weight if the new wood and carpet.

I have to agree..

the 2 rear seat backs, just by them selves are 17 pounds. the seat portion of the back seat might weight 7-8 pounds tops, then you just have the seat belts, the 2 little "u" shaped brackets (where the bottom seat clips on) are at most 5 pounds each... so im thinkin the weight savings might be even a little less than you figured. The wood & carpet are probably about 15-20 pounds by themselves... im thinkin he might have saved about 10 pounds total.

I still want to do it. no more than 1 person will be riding with me at a time anyways, and IMO it looks a hell of alot cleaner.

"let you"? that type of mentality is not ok!

+1

I suck at laying stuff out, its easier to have something to start with and adapt it.
