How to make Seat Rail Extensions

[@ricksplinter7291]

Excellent product and super fast delivery to New Zealand. Highly recommend Andy's seat rail extension kit....!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Thanks for that!

[@SmackeysGarage]

That's a big improvement. I'm betting that is going to make it a much more enjoyable car to drive on longer trips.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I definitely helps!

[@west3226]

I’m 6’7 and 15 wanting a 67 fastback… I’m definitely using this 😂

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Perfect, save this video for that special day when you get your car! :)

@@AndyKruseChannel You bet!

Good job! Thanks for posting. Mike

[@AndyKruseChannel]

No problem! I sell these extensions now on my website, KruseBuilt.com

[@reznorslayer]

Awesome video, very informative. Thanks for sharing knowledge.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nikonhckr]

I'm looking at doing this to mine as well. I'm 6'2 and it's at the limit of what I would call comfortable with the seat all of the way back.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Well, if you'd rather skip the fab process and just buy a set up seat rails already done, I sell them on my website KruseBuilt.com. :)

[@TeamGForce75]

I had the same problem Andy. You can gain even more room by changing to a 14" steering wheel. I have the same wheel as yours but 14". Made an even bigger difference to space than the seat rail extension!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I thought about that, but the 14" wheel just doesn't look right to me. Plus, the larger wheel helps with manual steering. :)

[@springman1740]

This works on the 1967 to 70 Mercury Cougars as well. Amazing what a couple of inches can do!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

That's sound about right as Mercury shared a lot of their platform with Ford. :)

[@johngersna3263]

I'm kinda late to the party but I will be making these for my "63" Falcon. Thanks.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Or if you're not wanting to make them, I sell these Seat Rail Extensions on my website now. :)

[@johngersna3263]

@@AndyKruseChannel What kind of price range are we talking? And, will they work on the Falcon without any modifications? Do you know anyone that has new seat rail kits for the Falcon? Sorry about all of the questions but you seem really knowledgeable about this subject. By the way, that's a beautiful Mustang.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I do not know if they fit a Falcon, but I do know that the Falcon and Mustang share a lot of the same parts. :)

[@johngersna3263]

@@AndyKruseChannel Yeah, I do know that the Mustang was based on the Falcon chassis. I'll need to do a little more research. Thank you for taking the time to answer me. God bless. 👍👍🙂

[@Glens1965]

Nicely done. If you ever have to remove seat pans for rust repair use 69 seat pans and you get a 1" drop for head room. Looking good.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I was looking into my options for lower seat pans. It turned out to be a bigger project than I wanted, but it's still on my list as a backup plan. :)

[@jordanschultz2232]

Nice work Andy! You could easily sell this as a kit! I would like to place a custom order for my passenger side so I can get them out of the way of my window!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Haha, don't tempt me! :)

[@FastFords289]

Good work, the only thing I would have done different is weld the studs in so you don’t have to worry about them coming loose from vibration and they wouldn’t move when you were tapping them. Also I’m the future when you wanna cut the studs, put nuts on first then you can unscrew them after you cut them and they will clean the threads up for you. Looks good though! 👍

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Thanks for the advice. :)

[@streamer_services]

Same thing i was thinking....seems likely they will work loose at some point.

[@grantpalm6282]

I had the same problem with my 70, and I'm only 5'10. Bought a smaller wheel and extenders to fix but man people liked to be crammed in there in the 60s.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Agreed!

[@SmackeysGarage]

Same here with my 69. I'm 5'10" and it still feels awkward to sit in.

[@jorgekun3120]

hahaha im gonna copy this but foward xD im 5.2 and i barely made it to the clutch on my ranchero 74, thanks for the idea

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, It would probably work by just flipping the extension piece around by 180 degree. :)

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

Excellent job, looks like your in the market for a tilt steering column next? Have a great weekend.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Who have you been talking too! :)

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

@@AndyKruseChannel One of these days I might take a video of my car and post it. I think you will get a kick out of it! Besides, after I added the Corbeau seats I had to add the tilt to get more room.

[@mjj6870]

I need this on my car

[@AndyKruseChannel]

We're in the same boat! :)

[@sijugopinath1]

Million thanks from an Indian friend who is 2 Mtrs tall

[@AndyKruseChannel]

No problem, glad to help. 🙂

[@sale-jy8gw]

A few inches makes all the difference. I would have wanted those bolts welded. I wouldn't trust my life on a little locktight for holding seat bolts.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Those nuts are sandwiched between the rail pieces and the seat pan on the floor of the car, there's no where for them to go or even unscrew. :)

[@frederickgilmore6329]

They don’t call them “Pony cars” for nothing Because only a pony can fit in. 🐴

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Truth!

[@7s29]

Back in the day they built nice cars but, if you happen to be tall, your screwed.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, that's why I had to make new extenders. I sell them now on my website, KruseBuilt.com :)

[@THATHATSALLFOLKS]

8” is better
