Ok, this is the last non-build video I will post. I was basically testing my new setup. It is a GoPro mounted on a DSLR with a shotgun mic. It's a silly video. https://youtu.be/viW2DDyrw7s

I know the feeling. I've been sidelined past couple of weeks myself.
I just put my seats back together (finally!). I should have a video about it in the next week. But here is a shot of the headrest foam with the speakers installed. It works pretty well but it looks like I will have to clearance the headrest metal to avoid getting poked by the cones.

Those head rests are cool! Nice job.
Do you have a plan for the back side of the seat to cover it somehow since that area is visible?
I don't have the wires/speakers like you do but am still considering coming up with something to give the upper part of the seat that is visible from behind the car a more finished look. Was wondering if you had any thoughts?
I was thinking about possibly ordering some black plastic ABD sheets and cutting to fit and tucking it in where the cover wraps around the seat back.

Not in the head rest but in the back cockpit wall. The wind noise at 50 mph will be too much regardless of where the speakers are mounted.
Think of a Mastercraft at 50 mph on the water. The roadster is worse.
No stereo in the next roadster.
That is an interesting thought. Since the tweeter cone pokes up a little when it is mounted I was thinking I may have to clearance the back of the headrest metal which would make it look even more jenky than it already does. A plastic cover would solve that nicely.

There's an idea for a new forum thread....what was the wife's input to the build?
Mine was heated seats and cup holders. I had to draw the line at the passenger side roll bar. Not the look I was looking for.

My wife is an Occupational Therapist. She worked with traumatic brain injury patients for a year so there was no way I was going to be able to do low back seats or only one roll bar. At first I was bummed, but after a while I realized that the Kirkey's are going to be great for autocross and time attack. So I actually ended up being happy with that input. The verdict is still out on the sound system. I will say it has been fun to try and find a solution that might work.

Nice work on the dash but I have a concern about what will happen to the thick Super Glaze finish when you bend the ends around to tuck in behind the hinges. Have you tried to bend your test piece 90 degrees to see if the clear coating will flex rather than crack?

Dash looks good!
I can appreciate all the time you have put into those seats! For the wires coming off the pads I ended up drilling a hole a little above the seat belt opening and ran them through there with a grommet. I think that may work a little better for you as they won't get any wear and tear with the lap belt constantly rubbing around them. I have actually been replacing my drivers side wiring this week because it failed for some reason! A dedicated hole for them may be a good idea.
The plastic covering on the back worked great. I think if you make some holes for speaker backs like you are talking about that plastic material will cover it very nicely.

I just used spray adhesive to attach the heater pads and the foam all back together. Looked like the same thing you were doing in the video. All sandwiched together with the seat cover on the seat it all stays in position very nice.
Only thing I did different was just trim the entire lower pad to length just short of the hole for the crotch strap.

I like the finish on the dash. Looks nice!
....so side story - when I start watching and my wife hears your voice she always comes to watch. About 10 minutes in she looks at me and says why am I watching this I have stuff I need to be doing? Yet she continues to watch to the end and tells me "this dude is entertaining"! haha
We are enjoying the video updates. Unique approach to keeping your build thread up to date! Good job.

Looking good Laurence. Dash came out great. Obviously a lot of work went into it and surely it's paid off. Steering wheel sets it all off very nicely. Over coming certain phases of the build like the dash mounting and wiring sure makes one feel good. Keep those videos coming.

When I did that post I had only done one seat and was waiting for a seat heater to arrive in the mail before doing the second. When I did the second one I found that once I had cut the piece a heat gun works really well to shape that stuff and make it really contour to the back of the seat. I never put that in the post but add that to your plan.
