Thank you Rob. I hope they turn out comfortable too! LOL I think they will be a huge upgrade from the seats I have  had to use the last few years.

 No money or time. I am hoping to get my replacement trans and transfer rebuilt so I could just replace them all at the same time.

Wood frames and the foam are  one.  Now will be the fun part, making it look decent.

Where I work just built a new indoor track and we had tons of extra material. This will now be cut to size for my front seat backs. I will glue foam to them then cover it up.

Thank you! It took me forever to actually put these together because I didn't think I could make them look decent. Decided I should make them to the best of my ability and call it good.

Will they last long? I am not sure but I can always remake them.

All my passenger seat had was a blanket and wood. LOL Not that comfortable and did not look good either.

4 years ago today I posted this on the facebook. This motor was locked up. Same motor I used to drive from Ohio to Oregon. Same motor that now has a knock.  Hard to believe it has only been less then 4 years since I got this motor running.
