    Some of the CDS turned up which was correct size 1" x 1/8" wall so could get the seat baes made up and fitted.

    First job was to put some 90 degree bends in to form the hoop, thought about doing this in one piece but virtually impossible to get it spot on to slide onto the stubs so made it 2 pieces and used some 3/4" x 1/8" wall as a sleeve, this was rosette weled into the two halves and then the joint finish welded.










    Now i had the perimeter sorted i cut some 1.5" x 1/8" to size to bridge across and keep the tubes constant and also provide somewhere the seats could bolt to.














    I jumped in the seat to check the strength and it seemed fine but Gary had said earlier that he thought it could do with an extra strut just incase, I was dead against putting a strut in as i wanted it completely clear under the seats, anyways after a bit of applied thought we decided to put in a less obvious strut that would strengthen but not look unsightly.

    The tube is again 1" x 1/8" wall and has a slight bend in it to tuck it up sort of out of sight. I spun up a couple of bungs in the lathe and found two 10mm low quality rose joints in my box that fitted the bill nicely.

    A couple of brackets were knocked up that will bolt into the chassis through the floor and after welding the strut in it was done.

    Looks very sharp, but I would worry about my a** bending the front of the seat down. Not to knock your work at all, it is some of the best I have witnessed on the net. I would think it should hold a 200 lbs (about 91 Kgs) guy just fine. I'm a bigger guy at around 285 (around 130.5 kgs) and would think that would wear down in front.

    Steve, I really hope the changes in the site don't cause you to consider not posting any longer. Not only because I personally like you, but because of the fact you have been an excellent contributor and member in all respects. This site needs people like you who know what you are doing and are willing to freely share that knowledge with the rest of us. But I do share your frustration over logging on issues and also the fact that the "feel" is not the same as it was before the change.

    We may never know all the reasons that prompted Brent to do what he did, and that is fine. But I think Brent needs to look at what has happened to the site since the change. When you have good, solid members like you, Ken T, and others ready to throw in the towel, it should be cause for concern. As I mentioned, I TOLERATE the site the way it is, but even after giving it some time it still doesn't feel right to me.

    Maybe we are in the minority, but at least we have been honest with our comments.

    Seat mounts and the seats look great, Steve!!!!

    Just a personal note on all this site stuff.... I had some problems and issues, after checking with people that know, the problem was me and my computer, not the site. I've been on CHR long enough to know that for the majority of us, the format is quite insignificant, the people and the information exchanged is what counts. Not being a 'puter guy, I believe Brent and Bill when they give the reasons for changing the format---if the old one was junk and no longer repairable then fine, let's get going on the new one and work the bugs out of the site, and work them out of our own systems. I would imagine waiting for it to change back to the way it was is about as much worth waiting for as the price of gasoline returning to 19 cents a gallon for premium---no one who takes a realistic outlook at the situation would expect either to happen!!!!!

    All your new input is a breath of fresh air on the site, Steve!!! It's made a lot of us kick our game up a couple levels!!!! I would only hope that this exchange of information and our love of all things noisy, neat, and fast would take priority over wishing things could be some other way---when it's impossible for them to be that way. I think your like a lot of us on here, Steve....Hot Rodding is the priority, and whatever and however the 'net can work to promote Hot Rodding and share our common interest is best left up to those whose specialty this computer stuff is!!!!!

    The site works fine for me, I guess that's probably because I'm just too stupid to realize that obsolete and unrepairable was better!!!!!

    Don & Dave, I check in the site every day to catch up with what you guys and others are doing, sometimes i get straight in but others i just cannot get on, i'm not big on patience i'm afraid so i just go off to the other sites i like, its a shame as the old Club Hotrod had something special, can't put my finger on it but it had a warm friendly feeling that appears to be not so apparent.
    I havn't a clue what the answer is to this problem unfortunately, I won't leave completely as i've made too many friends here but if you don't see me on here its not for the want of trying !!!

    Hey Steve, Its awfully lonesome in the computer saddle since you stopped posting. And anyway,we are still waiting to see some update on that awesome '27 Tall T Coupe that is under construction in your workshop.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Steve..its lookin good..Love ya workmanship,and the way you go about things..Its funny,,I used to have the odd time when I couldnt get on the site,and it really p***ed me off..Since the new look has happened,I have only had hassles once,,that was last week..I too have had an inward grizzle,but as the other site I frequent changed only a few weeks earlier,I sorta got to grips with CHR changes,,,not to say I like it..just that I will put up with it.
    On another note..what layup did you use on your Willys body??what weight of mat??and have you considered core mat in the larger panels,to give it a bit more strength?
