Operation bench seat car hood sled - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

OutToWinPAHC · 12-03-2008, 10:49 PM

The plan obtain a large metal hood and weld a 3 person bench seat onto it custom bracket of coarse and to take it to the largest hill I can find this snow season.

Yea its gonna be dangerous as but fun as hell. If you would like to help or have some old hoods or truck bench seat laying around please let me know. Looking for a large car or truck hood, older truck hoods are perfect because of the curve in the front they have going on.

I have a bunch of metal stock and a mig, just need parts. If not I'll hit the you pull it soon.

... i have a real ****ty bench seat in my '72 parts truck and the steel hood...

the hood will cost you some $... not sure how much, gotta see what its worth... but the seat I don't think is usable unless i get new padding for it... (gotta look into that)

if the seat is useless, it's yours... just come get it in glenside

Are you going to cage this? lol or just eat **** getting tossed off this 100lb+ monster? I'd love to see it when it's done though.

97TurboDSM · 12-03-2008, 11:47 PM

um. do want.

OutToWinPAHC · 12-03-2008, 11:51 PM

nah no seatbelt or cage the plan is to mount the seats on a heavy lean so you can just jump out. just good clean dangerous fun

DropTopChevy · 12-03-2008, 11:58 PM

Sounds awesome!!!!!!

Erik · 12-04-2008, 12:05 AM

Haha this is ridiculous. Sounds awesome LOL

poolmike · 12-04-2008, 12:08 AM

Oh this has danger and bodily injury written all over it. I call shotgun!

97TurboDSM · 12-04-2008, 12:11 AM

put a steering wheel/rack on that thing.

DropTopChevy · 12-04-2008, 12:23 AM

We're gonna have to make a bigger one with more seats, or more than one. Hood races!!!!

Showoff03LS · 12-04-2008, 12:24 AM

ill make ya a deal , find me a good straight hood for my '52 ford and u can have my old one

DPancoast · 12-04-2008, 12:32 AM

dude if you have an extra set of seats layin around, put a harness bar on that bitch and get a helment!

Showoff03LS · 12-04-2008, 12:44 AM

i got the seats from my Escort hangin round

**Got Insulin?** · 12-04-2008, 12:48 AM

I'll donate my spare eclipse seats, too. Singles? That would be a little more fun than a bench...

OutToWinPAHC · 12-04-2008, 01:06 AM

Well I am in Philly, so if you close by let me know and I'll come get the stuff Singles seats could be fun. I got about 4 helmets too, as for the hood I dunno if I can find you one, I am sure someone has something pre the 95 ERA laying around off a large truck. I think I may be able to rig this in a few days, the welds will be ugly cause I suck but its practice. Oh and if you donate and feel like helping the beers on me, maybe pizza too

DropTopChevy · 12-04-2008, 01:07 AM

I'm in to help. I have my own full face helmet.

frosti108 · 12-04-2008, 01:13 AM

your probly gonna need some kind of straight rails welded onto the bottom of the hood sled, or else im afraid it will just try to spin...

and thats if you ever even get it moving at all.

last winter me and a friend were using the top part of one of those luggage bubble things for the top of a car. it was super lightweight and really smooth bottom, and even that thing had a little bit of a hard time getting going...

Tires2theSky · 12-04-2008, 01:46 AM

that sounds awsome....use the latch part on the hood and tow that b*tch. We took an old BMX bike and cut up and bolted skis to it and pulled it behind a 4 wheeler....it was sick to turn you just turned the handlebar alittle and shifted your weight

timp · 12-04-2008, 07:05 AM

I want to see the video when you break your legs.

C'DALERIDER · 12-04-2008, 07:57 AM

My legs ache, the pain beginning deep, unbelievably deep, slowly creeping up through the layers of my consciousness, finally reaching the threshold where my struggle to ignore it is overcome and it comes gushing out in great spasms.
