I've been wanting to build a cockpit for a while now and after reading ericleroi's thread about his cockpit build I finally got an idea of what I wanted. My main goal was to build a cockpit that served a dual purpose. When not playing GT5 I wanted to use the seat of the cockpit as a recliner and then store the front half in a closet out of view.
I originally thought I'd knock out the setup in half a day but it ended up being about two full days. Big thanks go out to ericleroi! Without your diagrams as a guide it probably would have taken much longer!
Here are a few pictures of build in progress
And here is the end result
I used two bolts with wing nuts to secure the cockpit, the seat and shifter mount. This way the shifter mount can be moved to either side and the front half can be disconnected quickly.
After two full days of intense measuring and cutting it's time to sit back and relax with an ice cold beer.
