Going to get a used desk to mount the monitors on. But for now the stand I built will do.

It took a Sunday of thinking, BSing, and welding by Trooper2.

It was VEVOR racing simulator pit. I bought it on eBay and trooper modded it to fit a Pontiac Sunfire seat, turned the stick shift adapter into the throttle mount post. And added a stick mount post.

If you look close, you can see Stephen Coonts autograph on the nose. Coonts is s native West Virginian and lived in nearby Buckhannon, WV. My wife found it in an antique shop and she bought it for me and I framed it.

Just need to hang it up lol.

Post by: hyzer on April 20, 2018, 07:32:55 AM: Great looking setup. When I had my 3 screen setup, I've since gone to VR, I had them mounted in portrait mode, the larger vertical view seemed more useful than the wide view. :salute

Thanks, I use VR too, but I could see how having them vertical would be helpful.
