Well...I finally got around to doing my office chair conversion of the seat I bought off ebay.

Turned out GREAT. I still need to pick up a shorter cylinder for it...but other than that, very happy.

Remember, I did have to actually put the seat in my car to adjust it to the proper seating position...but that was a snap as well.

I may or may not remove the seat belt buckle...for now, it's on. Let's people know it really was in a car at some point.

I ended up just using a 1/2" sheet of furniture grade plywood (painted it black of course) I had laying around for a base and a donor chair from an office chair sitting in the corner in the basement.

 

thats EPIC! good job

 

That's freaking sick man! Awesome job!

 

That is absolutely AWESOME!

 

OMG. I love it. Keep the seat belt buckle and add a seat belt. lol

 

Looks incredible!! How is it on the under the knee area as that storage box is sticking out in the front?

 

Looks great! Maybe you could pay some electrical engineering student to make the electric seat controls, "massage" function, and dynamic work.

 

LOL awesome idea that would be so epic haha

 

Don't think pulse or dynamic would work as it needs the air pump which is located in the trunk, but should be able to get heated/cooled functionality and reclining etc.

Looks awesome by the way!!

 

Awesome.

 

Insane

 

Approved.

 

Jealous.

 

Believe it or not...your calves don't come anywhere near the storage bin. These seats actually have ridiculous thigh support in comparison to a regular office chair. I'm 6'1" and when I sit in it right now my toes barely touch the ground...and it isn't at all uncomfortable. It's just odd. And I'm sure it would get old fast.

I'll update with some more pics once I get the short hydraulic installed and then it should be good to go. Having all the gizmos would be great..but I've got other projects ahead of that. Would need a brain box, battery, pump...too much stuff to get it working to be worth it I think.



OK. Except the ventilation. That may be worth it.

 

My $200 office chair has ventilation. It seems to work after I've had Mexican food for lunch. The only problem is that is smells bad when it works.

 

Excellent! Very innovative.

 

That is a masterpiece!!!

 

love it,i`ll try to find one in beige.

 

Thanks, yet one more item in my must have list.

 

Needs the wheels from this chair.

 

Easy to do those wheels...the casters just pop off. I like it.

 

Slick set up!

 

quite cool

 

+1

I thought I was nuts when I made a lamp out of my old cluster shaft from my world challenge car.

But this is TRULY a piece of art

 

OMG I WANT THIS
