For me it came down to this. The seats were very nice, high quality and free. So I bought a pair of donor frames for $20 cut some 1/8 flat steel and welded them up. There are lots of import tuner guys that take great seats out of cars to put in APC seats so the can have that F-n-F look. Search the salvage yards and tuner shops and see what you can find, you might come out far better on the $$ end and have a much better seat.

I appreciate both of your viewpoints and responses. This may be something I would consider. DIYing isn't something I do often or gladly. Like building my fence or my deck, or stringing my tennis racquets -- I do it or have done it because it's what's best. This just may fall into that category. We'll see... (I really wish I would derive some pleasure or pride from these things.)

Creative, for sure. I would only need one seat like that, though. No one else would ride with me.
