    Bob, I sent you an e-mail about the seat mount kit which is on my website. As for a rear seat, I opted to build a seat from scratch for my Nomad since I wanted a full-length console in the car. I got the Eldorado rear seat when I bought my buckets but decided not to use it in the Nomad. I think Allen's car shows what it looks like very well.

      I might be bringing this 57 210 home next week. Owner doesn't know what full size car the seats are out of. I'm thinking mid-60's Chevy?

        Cypress bog.... I think your buckets are from a Chevelle (60's).. but could be from another GM car...

          That sounds about right. I like the buckets better than the stock bench seat and it looks like a popular conversion.

            That chrome trim wrapped around back looks like 62-65 Impala stuff.

              Hi C-Nut,

              I just purchased a set of 99 Eldorado buckets and am interested in buying one of your mounting kits if you have any in stock, I'll contact you through your website.

              Also looking for any wiring information you or anyone might have on powering these seats. I see many connectors and want to ensure I'm wiring them up correctly and not burning anything out. Any wiring diagrams, information or links to info would be greatly appreciated.

              Thanks, Mike

                Mike, sounds good. Suddenly it seems like I'm getting a run on them, but I still have a few sets left
