An office chair out of the front seat of a Toyota. I'm not sure whether anyone makes actual BIFL office chairs, but chairs over-engineered for the purpose are readily available. Rather like using welding gloves as oven mitts. They do need custom bases, however

Honestly, with the number of "racing seat" chairs around, a non-racing one for a chair will look both fresh and appropriate.

I'm actually looking into building a custom desk chair. If you have any advice on how to do it I would greatly appreciate it.

Get a regular chair base. Or buy a $5 office chair on craiglist and throw away the top. Get car seat. Get sheet of plywood. Bolt the car seat to the plywood using the same mounting holes that were used in the car. Bolt the chair base to the plywood.

Use Washers. Use nylock nuts. Sand down any edges you dont like. It is truly an easy thing to do.
