Looking for a Racing Seat

OK before we go overboard here I just want to say that I'm not looking for a tailpipe, rear end, or headlights (unless they're a true handful). I need to find a used racing seat, just the standard 17" Kirkey with no added headrests and stuff. I saw a guy selling them on EBay as desk chairs for $300.
Now I figure I can build one with a used seat, new padding and new wheels/hydraulics for under $100 if I can get the seat cheap enough. Considering my office is set up with all of my slot car stuff on the desk, I figure it'll fit with the decor. Let me know if you have any leads on one.

-AJ

Good Luck Art.It sounds like it will fit in real good with your Decor.

I'll try to behave but it can be hard to do.

I know...none of us really are adults in this group. Unfortunately our bodies continued to age when our minds stopped in our teens.

Man, I never got any sleep out there! The best place to take one of them little cuties was a place called Mount Lemmon...about an hour from the University of Arizona campus. So I was either out there, sneaking into that all-girls dorm, or being chased out of the all-girls dorm. You can learn a lot by sneaking into those dorms...i know that I can sneak through a window quicker than it takes a cop to arrest Maurice Clarrett.
