I have installed a nextel cup seat in the Corvette. I got a used one from
Muscle motor sports. I had to change the head restraint some, but the
shoulder support and seat was a perfect fit. I recommend looking at
www.joieofseating.net and www.butlerbuilt.net  to get some ideas for a
door slammer type car seat.

Now I'm going to build a seat for the streamliner. I think the Indy type
cars have the best protection for a driver in a tub type cockpit. If
anyone has any information or good pictures of Indy or IRL car seats I
would very much love to see them. I am tracking down the maker of the
closed cell high density foam they use in the head and shoulder restraints.
