Sit Down/Driving Cabinet Ideas
(1/2) > >>
gdilly:
I am currently starting work on my second cabinet as I gave my first cabinet to a family member.

What I want to do is foremost have a sit down driving cabinet. I then want the cabinet to convert to a regular cabinet so my friends and I can play.  I don't see the need for two cabinets when 1 will do.  I have been looking for examples of already built cabinets but have not found one that will do. 

Does anyone have any pictures or a website with a cabinet like this OR does anyone have any ideas of how I can get this to work?
AC.:
I've been looking into a driving cab for a while too but I don't have the room.  Driving cabinets usually disconnect b/t the front cabinet and the seat part.  Picture a regular upright cab (about 18" shorter) and simply put a seat in front of it.  Make it so you can remove the seat and stand in front of it to be able to play it like that - height adjustments may be necessary.  Grab a passenger seat from a descent car from the junkyard - along with the adjusting rails - and build around it.

I also thought about making one but for podracer.  Ascar9 is right find a car seat.  have the seat part lock onto the cab and have a detachable cp if you want different controls.  also are you using a console or pc?  i found this pdf on how to make your own pc controls and it showed how to build pedals though only in the basic of ways.

Cruisin' Usa/World/Exotica Cabs are sweet. If you can find a gutted one.

That would be a great Driving Cab! Might be a tad big/wide.

 A fun little challenge :)   

 Heres a proto sketch.    Needs a system to assit rise and lower (and lock in place).. unless you just have two people to do it.    Not to scale either.. but concept just might work well.
