OSCA seats

This OSCA is being prepared to run in the 2007 Mille Miglia and the seats that the car came with were pathetic. They offered no support and the seat back was at a right angle to the base so you felt like a baby in a high chair. We searched high and low for an intelligent solution but in the end we decided to build the seats ourselves.

Starting with a wire form to make sure the seat will fit in the car, we then modified it so it was comfortable to sit in without any padding (bed of nails?). Next we start to make thin sheet aluminum fit tightly over the wire frame station buck using the shot bag and hammer as well as the English wheel. The seats are so comfortable that we do not even need to add foam and upholstery even though they will be finished with tan leather.
