Back Seat Idea(I think its very original)
OK lately i've been eyeing the FD rear seats but have come up with two major (and blatantly obvious) objections. One is that only midgets, little kids, or legless people could fit and 2 you lose the use of you storage bins. Well i'm thinking its time to make something custom. I'm thinking making a rear seat thats like a bench seat but more like a bed thing. So this is my plan, since its like a bed (I take two people home every day So i only need to fit one guy back there) i wont need the leg room cause the guy will be laying down. Also the bed would utilize the storage bins because it will have about a 4" thick flap that you can pull up to access them. Reading over this I realized its kind of confusing but i cant thing of another way to word it...sorry. I'm also thinking maybe having one storage bin dedicated to pillows so my girlfriend could lay down(cause she always falls asleep on trips). So if you understood any of this what do you thing. One more thing How thick do you think it should be cause i want it to be very comfortable.

Save your money on the back seat redesign and just learn to rent hotel rooms when you need to stay somewhere away from home.. (Who would sleep in a FD anyways?)
Sell your car, ditch the "mean with sleepless" girlfriend and rethink the 70's custom van one more time..

In my other thread i stated that i want my car to feel like its a luxury vehicle. You know if you've ever sat in a luxury vehicle, it feels great. Thats what i want my car to feel like. Also I've given up on this idea because everyone here seems to thing it would be the gayest thing in the world. And lastly why would I get a van i could just get seats that go all the way back, which is what im doing now...damn

I don't know why everybody is giving this guy a hard time. I've fit five (5) people in my FD before. The two in the passenger seat were two small, skinny girls sitting on top of each other. The two in the back were laying down. One was my 6'3" friend and the other was a 5'2" 120lb fatty he was taking home with him.
(I've also fit all four tires inside my car too...It's pretty amazing what you can cram in there...)

Ahh... my first B.S. meter post.
You're forgetting to add up the total volume in the back area. If you do the math, you'll see that with the right Yoga manuevers, you can do it...
Thanks, now I have to go get my friend, another fat girl, and my digital camera together just for you...

dude if u really wana put a back seat in there go 4 it and dont worry about what other ppl are sayin. put a bed back there y not. while ur at it go for a fridge and microwave so u can make/store forzen burritos. Then add a fishing pole stand and put an outboard motor on it.
haha jk jk, dont mean to come down hard on u im just playin around. actually im gettin a rear seat for my FC so i can haul ppl around.
