Seats on Speedster Chassis Prior to Mounting Body

[mvmautorossa 16]

I am building up a chassis that will eventually be a speedster (most likely look will be mid-teens) -- in the meantime, as I complete the chassis I would like to drive it around to test the mechanicals until I finalize my body design.

 

I would imagine I am not alone in wanting to get it on the road without a body -- so, I am trying to accumulate a few pictures of what others have done to rig up a nice (but temporary) seat.

 

Any and all help would be much appreciated.  Thanks,

For boat seats we have used a plywood base with 6" of foam... cover it with vinyl and staple the bottom...quick and dirty but not for the finished product

I like using a milk crate on a piece of plywood

Go to Walmart and buy a plastic moulded chair. Remove legs and bolt to cross pieces on frame. Use big washers, and use at you own risk...

I remember seeing a gasser in the 60's that used 2 kitchen chairs fastened to a wooden frame. No way that thing would get on a track now!
