Default Custom Solo Seat for EGC

I had an old seat laying around that was a two up seat and I wanted a solo seat so after cutting the pan and reforming the foam as well as putting in foam where I wanted it I had the seat cover done in leather and had a tattoo of mine made into the seat. I done this all for under $50. I had the seat, which was give to me. And the leather was done for me by an inmate where I work in the hobby shop.

Good looking job, was thinking of doing the same thing with a two up pillow top seat I have.

Thanks guys. And Glide2005 if it is an old seat that is no good give it a shot what do you have to loose. I cut and formed the pan with a four inch grinder and formed the foam with my wifes electric knife and the grinder. Use very stiff carpet padding where you need to add foam, use spray adhisive.
