Seats are all in and working!

 

Good to hear

 

Lets see some pics.

 

Glad Pull-A-Part had something. Odds are, I have had my hands on that Monte (I don't remember the last one I saw there, I think it was a red one). If the 6th Gen Monte wasn't there anymore, I bet the pieces you need would have also been in a Grand Prix, maybe even an Impala. But hey, at least you got it!!

Now.... I think we need pics lol!

 

Outstanding!

^ What they said! ^

 

Yep. It was a red SS almost at the very back of the first GM section with the engine fallen out on the ground. Pictures will be up tomorrow. Hopefully no one wants the seats from it anymore because I may have slightly destroyed the hell out of them to get to where I needed. There's no battery so the seats couldnt be moved so to get to the tracks the bottom part of the seat had to be cut up to rip them off.

 

If I recall, that one had leather seats (I can't remember if they were any good before your visit). I also recall that one having goofy (and ugly) speaker boxes mounted in the arm rest of the door skin.

I pulled the surfboard off that Monte on a rather COLD day (one of few weekend days that we had snow).

I'm sure that car is near the end of it's 90 day stay at Pull-A-Part. So, it may not matter that you trashed the seats....

 

Couldn't say - the door panels were gone by the time I got there. Most of the interior was gone - honestly I think the seat tracks and possibly the DIC and OnStar Mirror were the last usable things in the car - everything outside was wrecked. I could have went for the cluster but someone already ripped it out and threw it in the trunk under a pile of other stuff - probably trying to get the radio out or something.

NOW AS PROMISED!
Well to completely update - I'll start from where I left off first!

Here's my loaner from ******


Studied the track on the bottoms to find I had almost all of the bottom track - I was just missing 1 small piece - the shark fin type piece that drops in to the floor at the front of the seat.



I've got a seat factory in my garage - a cloth bucket - 4 leather buckets and a cloth back.


So I went to Cleveland Pull-A-Part to attempt to get the pieces I need (didn't take a picture of the donor car) but on the passenger side I just chiseled the rivets on the pieces and got just the pieces - but my chisel quickly dulled and it was taking too long for just one side. So on the second side I just cut the seat apart to get to the bottom to unbolt it and just yanked it out of the car. I then just took the whole bottom - I drilled it out at home and popped the rivets out in 2 minutes - it took me over an hour to beat them out of the other side.




At least I got a backup motor out of the full track.

 

IN THE CAR!

 

Looks Great nice install
