    Stillkruzn---I think all model A fords were the same inside width, but I was wrong once before. My RPU is made from a cut down 1931 two door sedan, and if there is a difference anywhere, it might be that my bucket seats set back farther from the stock firewall than the original seats did. From the inside of the original firewall to the front of my seats measures 28 1/2". The taper inside thes old bodies is pretty dramatic, so the closer to the firewall your seats are, the narrower they will have to be. (I am fairly short, at 5'-7", but I couldn't live with any less leg-room than that). I do have a 4" recess in my firewall, to let me run a small block chev V8 and still run a stock length hood and stock 103 1/2" wheelbase.

    For goodness sakes, show us a picture of these Fiero buckets you like so much!!!---If they are a low back style, and still incorporate a speaker, that would be a real bonus. There is so much wind noise in my RPU that I can't hear the radio at anything over 40 MPH.

    I drove a fiero, once... that was enough for me... I am probably going to have to recess my firewall a couple inches to get a SBF in there with out stretching the frame... I am also going to move my seats back a few inches to make sure I have enough leg room... I am a little over 6', so I need all the room I can get... BTW... that RPU is sharp....

    I used chevy cavalier seats in my coupe, they're a nice fit and comfortable plus the price was right at $40 for the pair.
