I made one out of a Porsche Turbo sports seat. It is alot harder than it looks to be because of mounting of the seat to the frame of the chair. I had a couple of close calls of the seat coming loose with no notice and almost ended up on the floor. Still have it (about 2 feet behind where I'm typing) but just use it to look at and store things on as it shouldn't be sat on. Really need to throw it out one day.

I made chairs out of 2 recycled Recaro race seats.
It's really not that hard.
Just take the bases from regular office chairs and fab the mount to the car seat.
We have been using them for many years.
Enjoy!
Best,
Mark

Or buy the chair Michael posted and use the base

Yeah I have done it, got bases off amazon, and used some 1" steel tubing to mate the seat tracks to the bases. In execution the bases I got are a bit too tall, but they are not used much, they are more just for display, so its fine.

Spec, you're not as acrobatic as Rocketman.
