I am seriously thinking about replacing the original bench seat in my 1930 Model A street rod with bucket seats. Just looking for suggestions from anyone who has done this swap. Pitfalls? Suggestions about which make and model seats to consider? I already figure that I will have to raise the seats up on some sort of platform so I can see over the steering wheel (my car is NOT chopped or channeled). I don't care if the seats are manual or electric, just as long as they can be installed without a great deal of fabrication. I am 73, getting too old and cranky for big fabrication.

Any help is appreciated.
