opinions on the back seating of our cars please? id like to see others post pictures of their backseats removed, roll caged, custom stereo, chassis bracing, whatever you have done thats clever to our basically useless rear seating area.
on my car i chose to delete the seat right behind the driver seat for a couple of reasons. first, ITS TO ANNOYING to move my chair forward to let some one sit behind me. so now having a passenger behind me isnt even a option. and second, it seemed like a great place to install my water/meth pump for "short route" purpose's
the natural shape of the back seat made this very easy to do. the back rest's are individual anyhow and the bench portion was easy to sacrafice. but by just cutting the back seat in half would show bare metal as the automotive carpet stops short right under the bench seat.
i felted the entire car except for the trunk. the trunk is just bare metal. the felt was purchased from a local jet boat building shop. this stuff is UV resistant, easy to clean, looks nice, and weighs NOTHING. i went the extra mile and removed all the tar mats under the carpet (sound deadening)
with the car felted it was easy to make the choice to sacrafice a bench seat to try this out. so far i love this set-up. my water meth kit is super easy to refill and the pump is mounted right behind me making it remove about 7' of line from where it was originally mounted in the trunk. the nitrous bottle isnt mounted yet but you get the point. the amp lookin guy thats directly there and ready to go is a power inverter. and i have a nice peice of LED strip lighting in there for additionall "dome" lighting. im working on mounting the light differntly tho.

if the rear seat was removed all the way then it would suckcause you cant take your buddy and your girlfriend or whatever. this way when im cruisin with a friend i still have the option to pick up a babe 
and the fact that i can mount my goodies right there at a easy reach spot make good for my laptop, the power inverter plug in, the meth pump bein short route, and the nitrous bottle mounted to where i can crack open the bottle pressure at any spur of the moment situation
you don't know you live in alaska do you.
