Question New seats?

Will seats from a newer model Camaro fit in my 68? Does anyone have any pics of this being done?

Depends how creative you are, I don't believe you will find a direct bolt in. I have used seats out of a 76 Monza, and I am putting a set of 97 Trans Am seats in my 70. In most cases, you need to use the tracks out of yours, or be prepared to modify the new ones. That is the hardest part, getting the tracks to fit. Most of the newer cars have uneven floors, so the tracks are different lengths and heights. Nothing a welder and saw won't fix!

I reused the original tracks, and bolted in a pair of front seats from my old 89 Pontiac Grand Am. I encountered only minor modifications.
