Sit down cab idea
« on: April 15, 2003, 08:38:46 pm »
Anyone who has considered building a sitdown driving cab might be interested in building it around this:

It's very reasonably priced considering what you would pay for a seat elsewhere....*cough*Happ*cough*....

Cyberpunk, maybe you should consider altering your design around this thing or incorporating something similar.  That is the main complaint I have with your sit down cab (just from pictures, I haven't tried it, mind you) -- it doesn't look like it would be comfortable for more than ten minutes.

If you build a frankenpanel, chances are I don't care for you as a person.

Or maybe just get a replacement go-cart seat and bolt it to a piece of MDF.


Wouldn't be too hard to approximate that out of wood.
