    My creativity isn't the best sometimes. I'm looking for pictures of your rides backseat after raising the drive shaft tunnel and the modifications you needed to do. I've seen just a few, if you have pics please post.

    So here's the tunnel, I'll most likely modify the seat frame and remove some springs to fit the hump. Post back seat pics please

    still do not know what the seat needs to fit into. early '58 -'60 T-Birds had a pretty narrow back seat with a big center hump built in.

    It's a bench seat, and the base of it rests on the floor, near where the cutting disc is, see pic. So the seat has a half circle cut in the middle to fit around the tunnel. Now that the tunnel is higher the back seat needs work, so it will rest where it needs to. So I'm just curious to see what people have done.

    Was thinking something like that, splitting the bottom bench in two then just carpet the tunnel. I guess people with tunnel mods dont put their seats back in, no replies.
