Anyone have experience removing the rear seats and replacing it with plywood?
I doubt the title made complete sense. I'm finally getting my 93 si running again and need to find a way to comfortably transport my Great Dane. He just barely fits in the back seat by himself at 8 months so he's still got a bit of growing to do. I'm wondering if anyone has yanked the back seats out and basically just made a large trunk?
The plan is to take the seats, rear carpet, and possibly the cover for the back out. Then replacing it with two pieces of carpeted ply wood that would almost touch the back of the front seats. Hoping for tips or maybe pictures that someone might have to guide me into not wasting a weekend.

I think you'd have better luck with getting a big roll of carpet and adhesiving it down that way, lighter then plywood also.

That was my first thought and I may be mistaken but isn't the fuel pump under the seat? If it was I wanted to make sure he was going to be sitting right on it.

built plywood covers for several different vehicles, but elevated, & then covered with pleated material, it was a way to hide Nitros bottles. people would look in & see a rear seat, & empty trunk. I dont think they make chain drive opening valves for nitros bottles anymore? lol.
anyway you could also build a cut out in foam to clear the pump area? then cover it with material?

the seats I made were in a couple different cars, the most fun was a 4 door 73 Nova, no one suspected it, but also did a mustang, as well as a few other muscle cars.
