Default New guy from norway

Hi

I am a almost 50 year old guy from norway. The last 7-8 years i have been working on a 32 ford tudor. There is a lot of bodywork on this car. All of the floor has been made in steel and i have a lot to do on doors and rear fenders.
I hope to get some ideas on making bomber seats in this forum.
If enyone have drawings it would be great.

Welcome Melvin.

Here is a link to some bomber seats: http://allmetalshaping.com/showthrea...t=Bomber+seats

James Bowler had a great build series on MM but it was lost in their three year data loss.

Here is a link to a post Jay Paginelli made on the HAMB:

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...ht=bomber+seat

And another:

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...er+seat&page=2

And if you read through this thread:

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=94912

You'll come across a link to some downloadable drawings by Joe McGlynn who is a member here. I haven't scene them but Joe does awesome work and I expect they are world class.

Thank you all.

The drawings by Joe McGlynn was very nice. Perfect for my car. I will try to make one in cardboard as a template. If it looks ok in the car, i will try to make four for my car.
