Title: What is the coolest sit down cab we have seen?
Post by: fredster on August 24, 2004, 11:47:48 pm
Anybody have a link to a sit down cab that is cool?

Has anybody built one that's too cool for words?

I haven't seen one on the forum (but I wasn't looking that hard either)

If you built one, what was the drawback / positives?

Do you mean 'cocktail' cabinet? If so, then the whammocade is the coolest one i've seen....

No, not a cocktail.  And yes a sit down.

Man unclet, that is what I'm talking about.  That is one beautiful piece of work there.  I don't see many of those.

I am thinking about something like a Monaco GP or like the new NCC1701 videogame.

Something Enclosed Like that.  I seen some plans for a Sinistar Cab.  But has anyone ever built one totally enclosed like this one?

I have seen a couple of converted Pole Position sit downs which were enclosed, but they were both fitted with off-the-shelf steering wheels and pedals.  I like the real controlers (as you can tell).   Not too many sit downs though which I saw either so I just let me imagination run wild.  My wife thinks I let it run too wild  ::)    Anyway, I would think the "space" issue is the main reason why people tend not to spend time making a sitdown.    

Since there are a lot less people who create sitdowns, I suggested to have Sitdown project submissions be listed in there own section on the "Examples" page.    Saint (administrator) thought it was a good idea, but I have not bugged him lately about it  ;D

PS:  If my project inspires you, then go ahead and vote for me in the "Hall of Fame Nominations" forum.    SNAAAKE nominated me for the honors ..... good luck.

Post pics as you go.....

The coolest sit down driving cab i have seen is by arcadepcnut called the Breaktime Sitdown Driving Cabinet.
I am not sure what the link is but on the BYOAC links for Examples, Search Project Examples, Project title, Breaktime Sitdown Driving Cabinet you will get to the link.

I like this cab because it is scratch built not a coverted cab.
