Although not quite the same, they are close to the Renegade Hybrids seats.

Sorry. I am not at liberty to put either of their information out there. But I will post pictures of the process when we do a set of seat shells I have. That will be after my car is back on the road following the engine swap. We are making god progress so I expect that will be in about 4 weeks (hopefully). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


Michael is right about not providing details about who did those stunning seats because the guy does not have an auto upholstery business. He is a personal friend of the owner/builder of this incredible 6GT build in Willow Green that just did it as a favor to him. Here is a pic of the car as well as a pic of one of the seats as they were being modified prior to upholstery. Attached Image Attached Image

Achtung Kraft in wisconsin makes some great custom seats like these, as well as a lot of custom parts for 911s and some 914 stuff.

Those seat bolsters look great and the end result looks fantastic.
Are there any more in process build up pictures of the bolsters being added to the seat buckets that you could post? I'd really like to see how they are attached, looks like more than just FG.

Beautiful car! Is the build thread on here?


Thanks!

Does anyone know what seats these are and who makes them
They look perfect for serious driving and look a lot easier to get in and out of than the bucket seats I've seen available
Thanks


They look a little like these?

No, not quite. Those look like they were built on factory seats. At least the headrest.

Ok, I read the entire thread. Definitely look like they were built to a modified, stock-ish configuration. Those are nice.

Unfortunately there is no build thread on this car! The owner/builder keeps a very low profile on the internet, but I can tell you his builds are always done to an extremely high standard. He also has in his stable other cars he fully restored himself as well: a gorgeous 69 911S in tangerine, a stunning black 356 and his current build is a 74 Carrera tribute in Signal Yellow that will have a built up 2.9 Ltr MFI motor.

Interesting to note that his Willow Green 6GT, though not an original 6, was raced in the Porsche Panamera in its past life. I’m hoping he will attend the breakfast meet up tomorrow morning in Pleasanton so some of you guys can see it in person. It’s got all kinds of really neat details too numerous to list.

Just to add to this, we are finally getting close to tackling a set of seats for my car. I hope to begin that process in mid-November. I will take photos of the process.

Again, this is not a "shop". We work on our cars and do this stuff ourselves. Greg T. is a very talented man and he is the driving force behind this stuff. I have driven his Willow Green car and the seats are really nice. We will not have quite as much bolster on my seats and probably a bit more padding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks for the seat image. That will be a LOT easier than what I had planned.

Nice. Those side bolsters are tall. Will they interfere with the lap belt, or will these be modified to work with a harness?
