Anyone know what kit these bucket seats might be from? Thanks!

I have a shoe box full of bucket seats. I was going through them to pick an interesting seat or seats for my 24 Hour Build Monogram Model A Woody that I will be building this weekend. That led to sorting out the box and pairing up what I could. These all came from a lifetime of hoarding junk and purchasing parts bags at shows over time. It hit me that some of this stuff may be needed by someone, in this post Modelhaus era. So let's see if we can identify some of these? One piece interior molded in red. Seat One This pair is a extremely poor rendition of a seat. One is red plastic and one is white plastic, telling me the kit was issued more than once Seat Two Seat Three... kinda looks like a camping potty. Somehow I have six of these. Seat Four, an interior plate. No head. Seat Five - Gotta love the over spray job on these and the big sprue attachment point. Seat Six - Tuck and roll with buttons! Show car maybe? And some singles... Call these Seven, Eight and Nine Seven and eight are full seats. Nine is just a seat back or something. Many thanks if you can identify these! And if any of these is the last thing that's keeping you from finishing a model, let me know!

When did aftermarket racing style bucket seats first appear? Here are some aftermarket racing style (to differentiate them from custom type bucket seats) found in 1/24 and 1/25 scale kits, and a list of the kit(s) in which they were included (click twice on the image to enlarge): Revell '56 Chevy MPC '69 Mustang Revell Henry J, Willys pickup, Austin AMT '70s Chevy Camaro kits AMT Competition T-Body Parts Pack . AMT '69 Corvair AMT '69 Chevelle SS 396 MPC '67 GTO . AMT '55 Nomad MPC Mustang II AMT Wynn's Jammer MPC Pro Stock Chevy Vega MPC 1967 Bonneville - Hardtop and Convertible .

Dear fellow model builders. For some future projects (1/24 or 1/25), I'm looking to buy carbon fiber decals. I want to use these on hoods/roofs/trunk lids/spoilers/diffusers and seats. Which brand and type of decals do you prefer for the mentioned applications and why? Thanks! Matthijs
