Terry, welcome to the Ford Barn!! At the risk of jumping to a conclusion here, I'm not sure this is the best venue for the information you're looking for in putting your project together. Given the collection of parts you're using and the success you're having with welding and bodywork, I'd be tempted to mock up some material for the seat you're using and "wing" it. While I've been gas welding since I was 14 (now 80), I, too, wanted to learn to arc weld and did at the tender age of 71 by taking a 3 day course that was worth every penny!!

Best of luck with your project and hopefully maybe some better minds will chime in here.

Regards,

Dick.
