The seat mount was pretty straight forward. First step was figuring out where I wanted to sit in relation to the steering wheel and pedals. So I temporarily installed both of them. Then using 2x4s pieces of metal and whatever I could find I set the seat in the car and started figuring out where it needed to be. After this was figured out I tack welded the top part of the mount in place. This was sturdy enough to figure out if this was truly where the seat needed to be. This sounds all simple but this process took a couple evenings and there was a lot of trial and error. I was calculating the mount location using the middle holes of the seat brackets. This way if I screwed up i can go back or forward one inch.
To get the seat centered with the steering wheel I also need to remove a small section of the floor brace. This allowed me to move the seat the needed 3/4 of an inch toward the center of the car.
Here is the finished product. It is probably overkill and wieghs too much but it is solid.
