    A proper welding job will work fine. Welds are used on pretty much every part of the car, including steering and brakes.

    Re: TMI seats

    Had the same problem with my TMI seats.I bought the seat extenders and drilled and bolted the to the seats.  I removed the sear adjusters for more room.  Bolted the seats in.  Worked pretty well.

    Re: TMI seats

    I too noted that I sat higher in the new seats but after driving for a few 100 miles the seats have broke in and that is not a problem anymore. 

    Slammed Big Blue, ran over the varmints that messed with the Stang. Now all is good in the NW
