What Would It Take To Install Front Seats In the Rear?
I was watching a F1 race last year and the C63 Pace car had 4 bucket seats and I thought that would be cool to have identical seats in the fornt and the rear

It can be done. All you need is a good upholstery shop and they will be able to fab up bucket seats for the rear to match the front.

do you think they would need to weld in a seat track or just fab something up?

Do you mean two OEM front seats in the rear or two race seats (bucket seats)?

It's definitely possible although I'm thinking that the OEM fronts maybe too big for the rear and may take away some space from leg room It'd be cool to see though

well they would fab up or use some pre-existing seat frame to make the bottom and top portion of the seats. i have seen people use the 2 piece reclining sparco seats and make them fit in the back.

I think that the front seats might be too tall for the back. But a good fabricator, could make it work. You'll also need a good upholsterior. Post pics when it's all done.
