Early on in the planning stages, I had an idea to use a factory production seat (one with some upper chrome trim) for practical reasons rather than a replica Futura seat. I thought I could tweek the seats enough to look somewhat similar and this is the result:

Their not as close as they could be, but I guess I can always change them out if the "purist" in me can't live with them.
Hey....at least they fold for that practical aspect and they're unique...

"One more step closer to the FINISH LINE!"

Thanks guys, seat frames are modified (sectioned) 65 Impala SS front bucket seats. Dan, I wouldn't say you have nothing....I'll bet you that Motorcycle seat of yours is pretty comfy?!?

Zach, I'll grab some good shots of the molding profile for you right after the weekend; I might even have a shot of the dies that were used to bang them out somewhere. For now, here's a couple of details of how I (dry) mounted the canopies. Final install will include a polycarbonate adhesive to the deck.





Steel tabs were welded in to the steel structure below the fiberglass decks. FRont and rear canopies are mounted pretty much the same way (bolts through the lower tabs at each corner and bolts through the arch at the top center sections)
I'm going to be using nylon bolts just to be safe!

Once I got the decks level and the canopies cut/ground down to sit flush, I taped up the lower portions of the canopies and applied mold release so I could create a lower collar of sort. In planning to glue them down, I wanted as much surface contact as possible so I used fiberglass filler to fill in any gaps at the deck and on the inside, I made up a profiled spreader to create a bead on the inner deck that looks like a rubber gasket seal.






All the steel tabs are hidden behind the trim moldings and I have blacked out (painted black) about 1" on the perimeter of each canopy to prevent seeing the glue and back side of the moldings.
Hope this helps for now...

Zach, here are a couple of shots of the canopy trim in the making...

The profile of the die is a "lazy j" and even the upper part of the "j" is slightly rounded (not flat). I'm pretty sure Gerry also employed the use of an English wheel and other means of hammering when fabricating the corners to match.

BTW, I chose not to replicate the front canopy trim as per the #1 (lower ledge extension to accept Futura center canopy or the "L" bracket repaired corners); I finished my front trim to look like the rear and I also passed on the rear canopy lower pivot holes thereby eliminating any traces of a "pre-existing" center canopy.

To be honest, it was always a disappointment of mine that the Batmobile donned that cheesy front windshield molding repair it's entire life.
