Do you mean cutting the floor pan and dropping it down?

I looked at Mustang Monthly and Mustang to Fear but I could not find anything. Can you give me a little help? This would be great. Thanks

Anybody tried mounting old seat brackets on the '07-newer seats? I haven't put mine in yet ('70 fb), but that's what I was going to try before cutting the floors. The seat mounts are a few inches taller on the new seats than the originals. I will have to give up the electric movement and cut down the plastic panels, though.

That would be great. Mustang to Fear has one for a fastback but no coupe. Thanks much.
