I have a set of GTS Classic LeMans seats but wanted more upper torso support during spirited driving.
I bought these Renegade seats but really don't like the look of the head rests or how they shaped the bolsters. Don't get me wrong, these are both great sets of seats (and may all be for sale) but I want the best of both worlds. So, rather than mess with these, I figured I may as well try and make my own. The plan is to start with the stock "frame", build up the bolster area, lop off the head rest section and work out some sort of separate headrest. As you'll see, the donor seats are pretty trashed so I don't feel too badly about cutting them up. Sorta like the rest of my build! I'll post as I go. Let's start with pics of the LeMans (black w/grommets and their oval head rest) and Renegade seats (in the classic 'Tan & Tweed!) Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

During the restoration of a 356SL by a local specialist, my shop formed some of internal seat tubing (Drivers side) for the car; Factory entered 1951, LM24hr class P1 car currently owned by Cameron Healy. It's the silver #46 car that you might see here and there.
The final upholstery on it was black canvas, as the original werkes built car used this material to help keep the driver from sliding around (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
