The Corbeau Classic Bucket seems to be a decent choice - it just didn't "pop" with me or fit me particularly that well.

I actually tested a friend's Sprint Cup Car seat in mine, which worked perfectly other than the obvious fit, finish & comfort issues of it being a pure racing seat. So the one I'm having built is of course starting out from a basic highback racing seat, but I'm adding lumbar, less agressive side bolsters, and a slightly shorter pan in the front for leg comfort. Then we'll start chopping the back down to fit as well as possible with the style of the car. If it works, then I'm hoping to add a heating element while I'm working with the upholsterer (not sure whether I'll stick to the builder's recommended "velour" or go with leather for a covering yet).

Anyway, I'll keep you posted as to how it turns out.
