What about hinging and pinning the cross bar like we do on the front strut? Course a kid is smaller and access to the back might not be such a problem. Kids like that kinda stuff. It's when we get older we think it is a pain in the butt!

Rod,
Personally, I **LOVE** this idea....how many such set ups have 
ever been done before? Imagine...a car where the kids will argue 
over who gets to sit in the BACK!
If at all possible, maybe you make that one rear seat from one 
of your race buckets! You may have to elevate it a bit to get 
some usable leg room, but 'til they really start to sprout up, 
you should have enough head room for a while. It seems to me 
width isn't really an issue yet...but that horizontal brace for 
the roll bar will make entry/exit a nightmare. Can it be cut out
without sacrificing too much strength? Hey- maybe mount that one 
rear bucket with hood-pin style pins, so you can yank it out 
fast at the track, then slip it right back in for the trip to
school.
As for a bench up front, should be an easy find...check any 
Hornet wagon or perhaps a
 late 60s Rambler. A quality-but-
affordable seat cover will match it to your car.
This is truly a case of being handed, not a problem, but an 
opportunity. I say run with it and keep us all posted. Should
be wicked-cool. I want a ride when it's ready...and I'll 
squeeze my a$$ into the back!

Hey all.
I took a pic of the room between my tubs and the roll cage to give you 
an idea of what Im up against.
I have 22 inches between the tubs. I know going to a bench seat will 
give me room for 3, but the seat in the back will be a doosey. Any
 more
ideas? Rod
