The drivers seat is mounted, just not sure the fixed passenger seat idea can "work". I can reshape the bottom and backrest to match but the shoulder support and headrest protrude.
The Audi dash shape will match the headrest and the door panels are reshaped as well. Two seats will have symetry but not at the dash. They will reduce the need for back padding if any but then it will look less "production". This is why I removed the cage and opted for the hidden Engman reinforcements. Making harnesses look "factory" is also a detail challenge... Attached image(s) |

Hi Felix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I am thrilled to see more and more of the details on Neo914/6 come together. Your vision turned reality has been on my mind frequently since the debut at SEMA. How long before the maiden voyage?
*(Tell your sisters I said "Hello".) Keeping the recessed passenger seat concept is brilliant. I have seen Siverson's car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) His design and execution is fantastic. It looks like it belongs. Elvira has mismatched seats, so I certainly don't have a problem with making the pilots seat superior. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon22_2.gif) The GT3 seat shape echos the dash well. However..... I thought it looked a bit to big and out of place in person. Getting some of the similar lines and forms on the passenger side should tie it all together. I like those other rare seats very much. They would look great in a teener, but I'm not sure they would work in Neo914/6. **(Keep up the good work) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
