I wanted to go to a junkyard and rip the driver seat out of a Cadillac and make an office chair out of it then wire up the power controls.4onthefloor wrote:I've kind of always wanted to deck out my living room with furniture made from old car parts a la Top Gear studio.

Clearly an area rug and perhaps some other furniture are needed to liven up the room.

Still not. Bench seats from a minivan make great seating in the garage but by no means do car seats make good-looking furniture inside the house. At least not in this form.

I've been thinking of getting some old train seats, but then again I have no place for them. I don't think my dad wants to have them in his garage...

For car seats, all you need to do is get someone to weld up a frame for ya, can even ad bolt holes to match the old seat mounts.

For about $1000 you can get an authentic leather Corvette seat desk chair.

Well, I finally got out my guitar and attempted (operative word) to play a clapton song. Failed epically.
But I did take a picture!
