Tbird discussion point......

:hick:Been working a lot on the interior, and before I get to the seats I have a question.  Rear seat yes or no rear seat?  Thanks.

Should you keep the rear seat?

My vote is yes! Even if it almost seems useless at times, I like knowing it is there just in case someone needs a ride.
...and there was light!

I agree with T-birdx3, keep it. With the Mustangs, you can get away with it since it's a small car to begin with. And having no back seat will actually give you a lot more cargo space, since it's a hatch back. In our cars, however, I think it would just be awkward. Unless it's a full out race car, keep 'em.

I have to say unless you're planning for an all out frag car keep it.

Then if it's a cruiser keep the seats what if you want more than 1 other person to cruise with you.

Back seat +1.....  It looks unfinished without a backseat....and the design of the car is compromised in my opinion as well.

Thunderbirds and Cougars were built to be cruisers, large enough to comfortably seat 4.  If someone wants what is essentially a two seater that can comfortably seat 2 adults, 1 child, one small dog and a 15lb. sack of dog food, get a Mustang.    :mullet:

About the only kind of shag the back seat of the Fox Cougars & T-Bird are good for is midget shag :-(
