The driver’s side was fairly easy to fit due to the drivetrain offset toward the passenger. I sat for 10 minutes and found the B9 to be very comfortable. The ultra shields had miscellaneous throw pillows and stadium seat pads under the vinyl covers to make them tolerable. I’d say this is an improvement. The carbon back is quite showy.

I founded a pair of Tillett B9 on Facebook marketplace for a price too good to pass up. These are the edges off versions at 43 cm wide. I’ve confirmed the chair will fit on the narrow passenger side, but I will have to figure out how to bolt it to the chassis.

So the car is now 20 years old and it’s showing its age. On top of that, I’d like to make some changes to suit my use and taste. My initial thoughts are to de-sticker, de-chrome, and de-brown. Baseline image - as received.

Paul Snyder (User: Foxfire S2k) built this car in 2006. As far as I have found, Paul was not active on forums, but he was on the email lists. He kept impeccable records. The car came with binders full of build details. This includes printed emails in plastic sleeves that I have yet to completely parse through. I welcome any contribution from those with past experiences with Paul and this car. Around the same time this car was built, I was aware of the kits and interested. Really, all I lacked was the illusive lottery win. 20 years later, I was still lusting after the S2Ks in the rare instances they are offered for sale. This car was auctioned on bring a trailer by user Stickerdick (Mark). The auction closed during the 2026 Indy 500 and didn’t meet the reserve. The high bidder did not make a deal, and fortunately, I found Mark’s contact info on this site. After we agreed on a price, the car was shipped from FL to TN. The USPS and UPS both proceeded to lose the title. Mark was extremely professional and patient and I finally received the third title. This car has now been registered in IN and FL and currently TN.

Hello all I am fortunate to have purchased another bucket-list car. This thread is intended to document its history and adventures. This picture is after I took delivery from Stickerdick.
