Like Howard, I am short on dough with my build so I have also taken it upon myself to build my own seats.
Starting off with a pair of fiberglass shells from Bill Hough , I slightly widened the driver seat and used left over ali sheeting to make the back, sides and bottom which will be glued and riveted. Here are results so far. I still need to cut slots for belts, but you get the idea. Current thoughts are to inject expandable foam between the shell and ali to provide stiffen the structure. Covering will likely be nomex as my seat cover guy does a variety of work for the firemen up here. Seats are fixed mountings, but my pedals are adjustable in multiple positions fore and aft, left and right through a matrix of holes in the base plate. I'll post some pics later on after they are covered, and oh yes they are very comfy and should require very little in the way of foam padding.
