Rear Seat Storage Ideas? I am tossing around the idea of removing the rear seats and building out that area to be level with the rear deck area and using the area under that as a storage area. Any pics out there you have of people who have done something similar?
Also planned in this is fabricating an offset relocation bracket so at least the passenger seat can be moved further back to allow my long legged friends more leg room
Let me know if you have any ideas

If you're not worried about weight, that would be cool. If you are, you're talking about some possible substantial weight increases. I think it could be cool, but I've yet to see a setup that didn't look too ghetto.

Here is something very similar, just not as high as you are talking about:

A buddy of mine had that on his V6 'camaro - he was parting it all out to put it back to stock, and may still have that storage compartment for sale...dunno...

greekss, I am talking about making it so the front seats can slide back further back and completely eliminating the rear seats
SSG--Z28, I am really not too worried about weight as this is my daily driver and I am looking more for convience and useability right now.
Shane, the more I think about it, I think I am going to start with making something about that height. Just level it out across the hump in the back. Thanks for the pic!

the carpet dosent match, but i still like the idea. i have yet to see the 'rear seat delete' from fabricator, but if it was at the right price, i might think about purchasing one as i cannot do the work myself.

I think I am going to try and build it out level with the rear deck to give it a true 2 seater feel. Maybe put some slider doors in the piece that slopes down behind the seats....I am getting excited
Hum..... You think that would look good, being up that high?? I do like the sliding doors ideal behind the seats....but how high i havent desided upon yet. I went out to look at my stepdads vette and see how it was set up behind the seat and i got no ideals from it!! I am just thinking that being that high and having a huge flat area may not look so good. I thik i am going to look around on the world wide web for other hatchback cars and try and get some ideals.....
