Fix the Drivers Frame #8

Open qjhart opened 5 years ago

The driver's seat needs to have the original seat post locations rewelded onto the frame. Willys America was very helpful, and sent out pictures of the way they attach.

Here is a prototype of what needs to be added. Three legs need to be added to the frame. Every leg is a simple pipe that's pounded flat and bended for attachment to the car floor. There are only three since the front right rests directly on the floor (where it raises for the transmission).
