Making Recaros

[Jeremy Jon]

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

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)

Awesome job!

[Jeremy Jon]

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?

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

I can see myself ordering a few sets.

Do you make the classic 80's Foxbody Mustang Recaro's? I'm sure your version would look better than any kit Recaro's!

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.

Thanks guys! making now a Pro-Touring version of a GMC Muscle car OEM seat ...maybe a Ford & Mopar version after?

These look great

Great work on all the seats. Very interested in items like these, I'll be watching to see when they're available.

[Len Woodruff]

Great work Jeremy.

[Jeremy Jon]

Thanks guys, the Pro-touring GMC seats came out looking great IMO, looking forward to seeing in Jorge's GSX build

[Jeremy Jon]

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

Great work. Would love to have those pro-touring seats and Singer seats.
