Expert: - 5/12/2010


Question
I'm street Rodding a 1937 Ford Sedan Delivery. For a sporty bucket seat, not too large, but, comfortable, clean looking, good back support and head rest,.... given the tight driver / passenger area, and suggestions as to what would be a good car to search out at a U-Pull / wrecking yard?

Answer
Bob, I'm sorry but I can't help you.  I work on Model A's to restore them, not change them.  Whatever you do, make sure it is safely mounted to some good structure.  Also, make sure that the car you end up with is salable.  Don't build a car that only you will like, because someday you will want to sell it.  A lot of cars like this have over $50,000. in them and you can't give them away years later.  


Good luck with your project.
