Fitting Kirkey seats is not just a bolt in. The problem is the roll bar design won't let me have the seat back tilted enough so I will need to use a different steering wheel with less dish. We are mounting the Kirkey brackets to the stock seat tracks that will need to be modified.

I have that seat in my 68 coupe, but my cage looks to be about 4 inches farther back than yours. I had to fabricate a four inch riser to set the Kirkey mounts on to get the height right. I used the Kirkey back brace. Quite an upgrade from the Jegs poly seats I used to run when I first built the car.

Good to see you dust this off. Keep us posted on your progress.
