TRaKable seats? Aug 24, 2019 14:31:46 GMT -5

I have a set of buckets that I want to use in a `32 coupe
build that I'm starting now.
My thoughts are that modified like I plan that they would
likely then be TRaKable!?
The one seat is already chopped down like I want, what
are your thoughts guys?

Just a man with more design dreams and visions than time
or ability to carry them out!!

Those are out of the AMT '37 Chev right? I always thought they resembled (English) Cobra Clubman sports car seats, if that's what they were patterned after they've been around since the late '50's early '60's time frame. They were a very popular seat upgrade for the Mini Cooper S' terrorizing the sports car guys in Autocross and airport runway tracks back in the early '60's. (I have a pair of them in my own '71 Mini Cooper S, that's how I recognized them.) So they definitely are a TRAK'able kind of seat.

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5
