Bomber Seats

Question, how comfortable are these seats (bomber's in general) for a car you might put a few hundred miles on during a long drive. I am sure the amount of padding helps..

I am asking as I am considering going with bomber seats in my 27 Modified.. like the bench back but will need a split bottom due to a trans tunnel, so it might be two buckets... I worry about them being to narrow in the mid section for my size..

 

Ken, the ones I made were good for 2-3 hours, you had to stop for gas by then anyway. Position in the car means as much as the seats themselves.

 

The seats are amazing man. I may have to get a bench for the garage.

 

Yes Boones there pretty comfortable because of the angle i put on the back of the seat. If you run a nice 2"-3" high dens foam you will not have a problem. The main thing you need to think about when mounting the seats is seat placement, your hand need to fall naturaly on the wheel, eblow on the window or arm rest and most importantly foot placement. Just make sure you have those three things working for you and you will be just fine in any seat.

 

"Jet Set" was showing me and AZ Gumby pics of your seats at MW Camp & Drag. Very cool. I've been all over your Myspace pages in the past few days. Fancy you turned up here.

 

I bought a set of these cant wait to get them They are silly rad !!

 

One of the guys in our car club has one of Jamey's bench seats in the cab of his Uni-Body F100 and I have to say, that it is surprisingly comfortable.

 

you need to take those scraps and start doing door panels.

 

Just finished a set of panels today. Lars you should have received your seats already hope they are what you wanted.

 

lets see the gun your using.

 

Yeah! Have her hold up some door panels

 

I had a guy hit me up the other day that was having some issues with the racing seats he ordered. The seats were hitting his roll cage and wanted to see if i could custom build him a set... this is the result.

 

More Pics with the racing belts...

 

Ok got the seats today Bad ass

here are a couple pics I just set them in the car so if I put em in permanant they will sit lower as they are resting on existing bench bottom.

 

Your work is amazing Jamey! You have come full circle with your fabrication skills.

 

The infamous Jamey Jordan. Nice work man, hope alls well

 

picked up the racing seats from above pic from jamey yesterday and im speachless!!! amazing fabricater thanks for the awsome job!!!

 

Thanks Seth, amd Lars.... iam glad yall liked them.. Heres a new set i did... its got alillte more of a Art Deco look.

 

Heres another set i did trying out my new Oval Dimple Dies...

 

do you make authentic looking bomber seats? like what they actually looked like without all the extra who hahs?

 

Sure i can build a more "authentic " looking seat... when i first got into building them i noticed there was a bunch of companys that build that an authentic style so i decided i wanted to design and build my own version of a bomber seat... I make my seats with lower, smaller side on them so you can run a smaller pad in them... this gets you lower in your seat to gain your head room.

 

so how much would an "authentic" looking seat set run?

 

Jamey built this seat for my 32 this spring!

 

Like an actual duplicate of a seat used in a warplane? That would be cool. I think you'd need a good pattern, blueprints, or really good photos to pull it off.

 

like this one from ebay its a bendix from 1940. wouldnt need everything it has just the major characteristics.



without the pieces of tubbing on the bottom

 

Jamey, I'm building a 27 modified & need sum info on your seats. How do I get in touch with you?

 

Just wanted to show off another new set i built...

 

I Built these Best Of Awards too...

 

Not sure if you are familiar with the term "steampunk" but that set has the look.

 

Yes i love that style art and culture.. iam really into Steampunk and Art Deco...
