Nice clean build, what kind of pedals are those?

The plans were only $30 which included full size templates and a detailed instruction manual. I had looked at some of the free templates and didn't see anything that I liked. I do still on either painting or perhaps wrapping the MDF with vinyl. The pedals are reverse mounted G27 pedals which was very easy to do. I did have to make a few modifications to get the shifter to fit properly and angle the pedals to my liking. It's almost perfect for me now. Also, what I like about this setup is that it is very solid and you don't feel any of the force feedback from the G27 shaking the monitor.
I was able to get most of it build in one weekend.

Well, I know it isn't exactly the same, but these are the cockpit and plans your cockpit reminded me of:

Do most people here prefer inverse mounted pedals? I'm looking at doing that myself, but before i spend the time and effort building some contraption i wonder if it would even be better? These are G27's that you removed the baseplate from correct? They almost look like clubsports!

My pedals are G27 pedals not Fanatech Clubsports. 
I'm not sure if most people prefer reverse mounting the pedal or not but it does give the cockpit a more natural feel. It feels like I'm driving my car minus the actual feeling of moving, but I do plan on adding a Buttkicker to hopefully help immerse myself a little more into the game.
If you look at most vehicles you will notice that this is how the pedal assembly is mounted. It's so easy to do I can't imagine why more people wouldn't do it. It only took me a few minutes to disassemble the pedals and mount them.

The seat is a spare seat out of my Eclipse Spyder after I did an interior swap. I used it to keep costs down.Liking the design and work going on here.
Not so keen on the granda joe seat
With solid timber that thing would purr with a "Tactile" unit or two.
Look forward to seeing more mate, keep it up.

Great seat! I like the low cost idea also.
