WTB Racing cockpit DYI kit-Who would get in on one?
« on: June 21, 2006, 08:21:24 pm »
Anybody,
Has anyone seen or built one of these racing cockpits before?  I am really interested in purchasing one of their kits but don't really want to pay $90.00 (69.00+shipping).  Would anyone like to go in on this with me?  The kit has some hardware included but whoever pays the extra difference can keep the hardware.  All I need is a copy of the stencil.  I know I don't have many posts and have only been around for a little over a year.  But if someone else wants to take the lead I can contribute.  What do you all think?  THANKS

Mike

That is a nice one.  But I don't know, this one just seems more stylish-compact to me.

what about the seat?  like where is it?

looks nice though kinda like the seat for steel battalion.
Back in MY day we lived on the moon and we had to build a rocket ship from scratch to get to the Earth before we suffocated.

The "kit" only supplies the template(s).  One must provide their own seat, steering wheel, pedals, etc.  I can't tell what is on these examples, they look like a plastic molded type of seat??
