Anybody remove backseats?
when i ever redo my interior with black carpet and cover everything in black leather, i'm going to do this. that way, when i recover it, there wont be all those indentions and cutouts for seatbelts on the plastic back there. might build a sub box that is easily removable back there too.
Surprisingly the rear seats themselves are not that heavy. I would say maybe 8 lbs. If you took out the seatbelts/seatbelt retractor things you could take a little more weight out there.
I took the rear seats out of my Z28 because it had cloth and I purchased leather front seats, but had trouble finding someone to just sell me the rears. No one sat back there anyway. I pulled the seats and replaced them with a delete kit that I made. It wasn't fancy, just two sheets of plywood tacked together at a 90 degree angle and covered with spare carpet I had in my attic. I used carpet/vinyl/headliner dye spray to match it to my car.
I don't have the measurements but the easiest way to do it is get a piece of that 1" thick blue home insulation sheet from home depot. That way you can sit in the car with a box cutter and chip away at it until it fits how you want. Then just trace it onto the plywood, cut, cover with carpet and voila, there you have it. From there you could put subs/trap door whatever your heart desires.

that looks awsome, keliente. i want mine to look like that but one side will be a sub box and the other will have a top that lifts up and have a little storage compartment. kind of like what reject was talking about.
I took mine out because the dog dind't fit in the seat. Now with no seat she curls up in the depression just fine. keliente that looks sick I may have to see if I can do that. Any one want to do a write up of removing the seat belts I still have those back there.
Pretty easy, you need a 3/4 in socket and a T50
At first I pondered if this was a serious question because so many people have done it, but as you see you have many good options to go with. Personally, I think it looks weird without the back seats in the car. That's just my opinion though.

It has rod knock but who cares, I have a lot of spare parts laying around. I may sell my formula soon so I can focus my time & energy (and $!) to making something out of the vette.
