    i did aquire this seat for my modified , it is some sort of helecopter seat
    but found it was just too wide for my modified thats why i had to get the austin 7 seats

    so i thought i would convert the helecopter seat into my office chair
    it was £90 on ebay

    Chk out OSR #4 page 40 for pics of the seats. They look pretty bad ***...in fact you may get a bad *** sitting in em too long.

    Their site is going through a revamp so they don't have em cataloged there. Nevertheless, you can chk it out at http://www.nostalgiaflameworks.com/ or call the shop for pricing pics etc.

    I saw those guys selling Porsche Spyder seats at the Father's day show for $3900. While they had three versions, and all were beautiful, none of them were close enough to the real one they had on display to merit the price.

    Speaking of expensive repops...
    Kittyhawk Racing was there (Ron) with his new '60s Champ wheels.
    $1220 for a 16x6 and $1440 for an 18x7.
    Hubs, spinners, and drive pins were extra.
    My verdict: worth every penny! Fabulous work!
