Thank You

I made more progress on the seat. It's really the hard part. I welded on a 1/4" aluminum round then bent a piece of trim around. It is a doubler which really makes the seat:

Thank You guys!

Working on Bomber seat. I have rod and trim piece about to bead roll for the outside edge which will be riveted on. Seat is adjustable forward/back and in angle. Running boards are suported and could be stood on.
