    I continued with seat fabrication today; since I was on a roll with it, I thought I would finish what I started so I wouldn't lose my place. In order to make the seat platform and back fit correctly I needed to cut and fit the side panels. I used an old box top to make a pattern (poster board wasn't big enough) and then transferred the shape to some 1/4" Luan plywood. I secured the side panels in place by putting one screw into the seat riser on each one. (Later, the body will be properly wooded and these can be properly attached. This installation is temporary for fitting purposes.)

    Once the side panels were in place, I was able to re-fit the seat bottom and back and then fabricate the wrap-around sides for the seat back. This brings me to the point where I can re-engineer the steering support hoop under the dash and (finally!) finish the roll bar assembly...
