You may not have access to a steel supply house but if you do, you can do the car for less than 12 bucks. I went to one of the multitude of steel supply houses in Amarillo and bought 30 feet of 1X2 inch rectangular tubing, heavy walled and built two sets for about 20 bucks. Depending where you buy the stuff it runs close to a dollar a foot. If you're going to have them welded in anyway, you can save a ton doing it this way. The seat brackets aren't anything fancy, just angle rion welded in the right place. Just a thought.
