Aside from sheetmetal, I bought my first parts for this project last weekend. I happened to be in just the right place at the right time got a pair of Ford GT seats. I've always thought these were the coolest looking vaguely retro sport seats. I looked into finding a pair for my Camaro, but at the time there weren't any for sale and list price from the Ford dealership was something absurd. I remember thinking each seat cost twice as much as my first car, so figure 7-8k a seat That's why they didn't end up in my Camaro.

Somehow I got these for $1400 for the pair. They are fancy and made of carbon fiber. Hopefully they add a little bit of lightness to made up for the filler, and wimpy Ford motor I hope to put in.
