Garage Seating

[smooth72]

I thought you all might get a kick out of my new seating I made from a van bench seat.

looks good

how did you ancor the treadplate to the back of the seat?

Does it tend to lean back threatening to fall backwards?

Great idea - mine is just sitting on the floor & I've been trying to figure out what to do with it.

It is very stable, the only thing I would do diifferent is make one set of the wheels locking

Liquid nails to glue the back on. I used 3/4 square tubing to build the frame.
Originally the seat was solid blue, I thought it needed something so I used some paint made for vinyl and cloth to change. I will probably have to redo it from time to time, but hay it covers the stains

What is the primer body next to the vette? It hints of prancing horses but I can't tell.

Looks like an older (70's) vette to me.

68 - 72 vette. The late 70s had rubber front noses.
Need a little more of the side to tell which year for sure.

awesome idea....

i love the wheels! so slick.

Can't be a Prancing Horse, it has the motor in the front and no F-car had louvers like that on the front engine cars.

Since everyone else has said Vette, I will say Bricklin just to be different.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a '72 Vette.

After all, he did say he's rebuilding one in this thread ;-P

It is a 72 corvette that I am building more like a street rod.
