Jeremy Jon Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Couldn't find the Recaros seats I wanted, so decided to make some myself Started with casting a plug, and then heavily modified to make each version desired The low-back bucket I made from plug of the Toyota LeMans car seat & modified it I'm pretty happy with the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Jon Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I also wanted some classic Recaros, but with much improved details ...started from a donor kit recast, I improved them significantly with deeper cut lines, refashioned the headrest to correct shape & moved with forward tilt proper, and then made new control panels one each side bolster (so I could make one mold & simply sand off one side control set to make either a driver's or passenger's version) Edited December 22, 2014 by Jeremy Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Jon Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks Ben, Ken and Jose I want to make some race seats, like Sparco's but I think definitely would need decals made then Some others I'm considering?

Jeremy Jon Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 So while looking at some other cool seat designs to construct I found that a few manufacturers make a particular design which looks very similar between each ....this time I'm making up a digital design sheet for printing scale decals to match, but in the 4-5 different names which are applicable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonioseven Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I can see myself ordering a few sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Do you make the classic 80's Foxbody Mustang Recaro's? I'm sure your version would look better than any kit Recaro's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Jeremy, you do great work, but your type font is hard to read on my 17" monitor and nearly impossible on my iPad without enlarging the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Jon Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks guys, the Pro-touring GMC seats came out looking great IMO, looking forward to seeing in Jorge's GSX build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Jon Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I really like the Singer Porsche style seats being made by Recaro, they'd be great for not just scale Porsche builds, but anything European, VW, BMW, etc. IMO So I decided to make some myself, they are 2 very different styles, one the bucket, once piece with head rest, and belt pass-through holes, had to reproduce the basket weave fabric pattern too ...the second is more fitted, straight lines, folding design sport seat, very cool IMO Edited February 7, 2015 by Jeremy Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
