Thanks guys. I really appreciate the comments

I wanted to work on something that I would see some good progress and results, so I decided to work on getting the seats mounted. If you don't recall or don't want to read back, the seats I'm using are out of a 2005 GTO. I plan on using the front and rear seats. I've already done some work with the fronts, so I thought I would work on the rears.

First I had to cut out the center portion of the seats



Did some test fitting



I'm going to build some arm rests to fill in the gap





As you can see, I'm definitely going to have to cut them down as they sit pretty high



After looking at the area behind the seats, I decided to replace the sheet metal as I didn't like how far it sat forward at the bottom





So out it came





I'm glad I decided to do this as it allowed me to finish welding the deep tubs in an area that I couldn't get to before



I decided to replace the sheet metal in 3 parts. Started with the center section. I know the bead rolling looks like crap. It's my first time using a bead roller and it's not the easiest to keep straight when you're doing 18g sheet metal by yourself. No one will ever see it anyways and it adds strength.







Made some pieces for the side
