      I would personally put a WTB ad out for some frames. It would probably cost you more to try and have somebody make them. Reach out to Tom Farrington. If I'm not mistaken he has some parts cars....



      The custom seats I have seen are built on a wood frame using foam and no metal framework. As stated. modifying some existing seat to fit in the back of your car is also an option.
      Big dreams, small pockets....

      $500 for 1/2 of the back seat frame on Ebay. $350 for a set that has similar metal missing from mine. I just can't fathom the fabrication would cost that much, the upholstery job more so I would think. i'm going to go down this road just to see what it looks like.

      I hope you can get it done for what you think is a fair price, but I think you might be underestimating how much time might be involved with this. Good luck

      There is no doubt. But I don't know what I don't know and putting out feelers to understand the true costs is the only way to know.
