I am not that positive of the origin of my seats, but they are the aluminum ones. Boat is a 68 Mustang, and her birthday is 21Nov67.

Mike, it looks like your seats have the aluminum bases that also support the back cushion? 
If so, then theyre the later (mid 70's and later) buckets. My guess is that your original wood based seats were replaced at some point by a previous owner. My '78 Tique seats:

Gary, I do have the back seat. I do not have the front seats. A picture would be great of where the seat "was". Is there a wood support that goes all the way across? Chelle' |

Tim,
Interesting. I will post a pic when I get back. I think the frames are similar or the same as yours... Mike |

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the picture. My back seat is fiberglass. I don't know if it sits right on the floor or if there was a wood brace that went across the back. Chelle' |

I have the fiberglass seat and it sits on this board. I ran my floor back to it like original. In hindsite, I wish I ran the floor all the way back to the gas tank mounts and cut a new, thinner board to fit that would support the seat.

Michelle- I also have the fibreglas seat and it doesn't have any indications of being attached anywhere but across the top of the seat back with a few domes. There are no marks or signs of any floor support or attachment. Did you receive the gel yet?

Thanks Bruce and Doug,
It seems like it should have some sort of support. Maybe I'll use your thinner board idea. No, I did not get the gel coat yet. I'm heading for the Key West for a bit and am going to hold off till I get back. I don't want to be half way done and leave the gel sit in a cold garage. March 8th I'll be back with a new sunny attitude. There are seats and other things keeping me busy. Chelle' |
