D55:Driver's Seat

Before fitting the pedals and the steering wheel I wanted to make sure I knew how they would feel actually sitting in the car. So, the next obvious step was getting a seat into the car. The seat is out of a 90's Camaro. I had to shave a little foam off the sides, but it fits nicely. The slider works, as does the vertical adjustment.

On a side note, is it wrong to have a chevy seat in a bmw based build? Oh, and who'd have thought a seat from a Chevy would be attached with metric bolts?

Below you can see the mounting hardware and seat base. An important note here, when mounting a seat on a slider, make sure both sliders are lined up BEFORE welding the mounts in place. Otherwise things tend not to line up correctly.

And of course, now that I can actually sit in this build, a big smile is in order.
