Source for bucket seats?

[coldplugs]

Does anyone know where I can get seats similar to these, new or used?

 

[JPSmit]

not sure exactly how similar - but - in what I presume is the current issue of Hot Rodders Journal (saw it a month or two ago) there was a Rat Rod truck where the builder had taken Bugeye Sprite seats and installed them completely stripped - he said they were to closest match to helicopter seats he could find - seems like you could upholdser the front and paint the back for a similar look - otherwise - do you know a sheet metal shop? - they look easy enough to fabricate

Looks very similar to what the "rodders" call bomber seats. Search the hotrod sites.

What are you building?

Thanks to both for the good suggestions. (I never heard them referred to as "bomber" seats but you're right).

They're for a friend's Model T speedster.

Thanks Marv. That looks like a great source and I think they may offer a few other things he needs also.
