Jeff's is from a Hilux. Ben and Stuart made theirs.

i like stuarts how it has the gap for the handbrake lever and it sits flush with it 🙂 i dont have ne pics but

HotRodMatt ·

Personally I think Livo got his the best. That vertical handbrake looks nasty... Either keep it stock or do it better.

pyr0 ·

hmm thats a good point. on that note livo's had that idea for some time its good to see it done 🙂 top job

I also like the fact that in Ben's you can shift the whole seat forward and put the back rest down to join the back seat and make a bed!!!

pyr0 ·

uh ohh the secrets out now :P hey that would make another bad seat out this way 😎

CoopGirl ·

Sure would, but we have already warned Amy and Ben on the dangers of bed seats and sharing toothbrushes! LOL

pyr0 ·

hehe dont forget the choices of salad dressing :P

HotRodMatt ·

This is common in hot-rodding and kustoms.

Look back to the cars and art of Big Daddy Ed Roth et al for examples from the 60s.
