Rear Seat Delete Project...Done Well, I've begun the winter mods. I know we may still get some nice weather, but I'm gettin antsy. Anyways, I took out the rear seats and started fabricating a box in their place. I intend to make the top open and close so i can mount a nitrous bottle in it. The nitrous will be the next "project".

Thanks everyone.
The seats can still go back as far as they are capable of. I actually used the mounts the rear seats rested on for the box, so there is just about the same amount of space between the front and rear seats.
Next weekend i will put the matching carpet over the wood pieces. I attached the latest pics.

As far as weight is concerned, it is still lighter than the seats/seatbelts. I used 1/4 inch plywood to help keep the weight down. I don't think it is quite strong enough to support someone sitting on it for any extended amount of time, but I don't want anyone sitting back there anyways.
Regarding the nitrous bottle, I didn't dry fit any specific size so I'm not exactly sure how big (or small) of a bottle i will be able to fit, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I did keep a template for the pieces I cut out, so maybe I can reproduce them, but I'll wait and see how I feel when I am completely finished.

that looks good. I was just gona lay the bottles on the floor but that was a great Idea I may have to make one myself. Id like to see a pic with the bottles in it.
