I need to replace front bucket seats

I don't want to beat a dead horse but I need a recommendation of a late model bucket that I can junkyard source that will fit my 65 Cyclone.
I can fabricate and install any needed modifications. Thanks for the help!

Re: Export bar install question

Good to know thanks. I just finished a 67 Barracuda coupe unibody car and I know one has to take care with them.

Export bar install question

I am putting an export bar in my 65 Cyclone. Question, is the car sitting on the wheels to do this or is it jacked up supported from the subframes?
I think done wrong could cause bad things to happen.

Got under hood today

Today I finally had time to change the oil and filter on my NTM Cyclone. Seller said the car overheated with it's aluminum radiator. I left it alone and ran it after the oil change for 45 minutes checking temps with my infared gun. No overheating---the factory gauge is wrong. Indicators are good, lo...

Right on Fred, when the time comes PM me. I have a question, does the site have "thank you" or "agree" icons somewhere one can click to respond to posts? The FABO site is good that way. Just asking.

Re: Dual fours on my Cyclone

dual fours ARE impressive,Eds not quite as much as Holleys.The Eds are probably drilled for square bore and Holleys will probably fit if you're so inclined. Yes I have had both and tuned both. I use a wideband on my engines now to help tune and it makes it easy. My current daily driver is a 1967 Ba...

Re: New member registration?

Thanks to all for the quick welcome and information. I can already tell I am going to get along well here. This site has good bones a lot like TFFN did. I posted there for about seven years until I started my Barracuda build. I am going to be asking for a lot of advice and help. Ambition stays in my...

Re: Dual fours on my Cyclone

My newly purchased 1965 Cyclone A code has an aluminum intake with Cobra cast into the front of it and two Edelbrock four barrel carbs. No vacuum secondaries and no choke assemblies. I haven't driven it much but it seems to start, run and drive fine so far. Does anyone know what this is? The intake...

Re: New member registration?

Hey thanks for the welcome. I am trying to learn your navigation system and I am a big photo poster and I like to post total build threads on all my cars. When I built the 404 Comet I posted to TFFN for help but Comets were a sideline there. I am really glad to find this Comet specific site. Buildin...

I just finished a 6 year build of a 1967 Barracuda notchback coupe and needed another project to keep me out of trouble. I was very glad to...
