Default Retarded Seat Question

ok, this might sound hell of stupid, but bare with me. This came to me in a dream last night. But has anyone seen/heard of a home made racing seat? In my dream it was hell of crazy but it seems like someone could figure out how to make a pretty basic seat, whether it be tube steel frame or find some way to make a shell. well ya someone respond. sorry if this is a dumb idea

HA.
You're right, it does sound HELL OF stupid. Just buy a friggen seat and call it good. The companies that sell seats put a lot of time into R&D to make them safe. If you slap one together by yourself I wouldn't want to be you in a crash.

Get some 1/2 inch plywood custom cut to form, chrome wood hinges, a king size pillow, some long self-tapping sheet metal bolts, and some red duct tape and you're rolling!

Well, now that you mentioned it, I just used a little Mothers on my front teeth and syncronized a couple of the clocks on my necklaces.
