I was redoing my floorpans when someone pointed out to me that my seats dont line up perfectly. The driver's seat is about 2-3 inches ahead of the passenger's seat. I never noticed this when i had the interior installed. Is this normal or a problem?

I've never seen that problem before. Were they drinking during the install? They should be the same, unless they were purposely modified that way.

 

Wow. That looks like5-6 inches forward.

It's clear that someone moved it forward at some point and I'm guessing they had pretty short legs.

I've never heard of someone moving the seat riser forward. I'm 6' 3" tall and had to move mine back 2". My 5' 3" wife had no problem reaching the pedals and seeing out the window. She actually had to move the seat back some in my 65 when I had her help me move it.

 

Yah it was definately moved forward seeing as the access holes are behind it.

 

its nice for whoever is riding in the back seat.

 

so which seat should be moved? the driver seat back or the passenger seat forward?

 

Some guy probably built that car for his wife or daughter.

Definately the driver's side riser needs to come back. See the holes in the floor pan? Those are to access the seat track nuts from the underside of the risers. They should be aligned for proper fitment. Now if your a tall guy or a really short person, those seat risers can be modified for whatever height is needed to reach the pedals, etc. If your looking to relocate the riser to the correct location, then it looks like the passenger side is correct and the driver's side need relocated.

 

So is it an easy fix? Just grind off the the box the seat sits on, move it back and weld it into place?

 

Yep, pretty much. You can buy new risers I believe. They don't cost much at all, and would probably be a good thing for you to look into. The one you have now looks like its been botched up some.
