How many re-work the stock platform(?) or do you just it cut it off flush with the floor?
Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

It probably could be reworked though depending on the seat you're putting in. Good Luck. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 15 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 15 | I am re-working mine, using power bucket seats from late model T-Bird. I was going to cut my riser out, but got worried about losing the rigidity of the floor, oilcanning etc. If I had cut out the existing riser, I would have had to build up some taller mounts for the seats that I have to work, anyway. So, I decided to leave the existing in, and put a plate and some re-inforcements under the seats.
