Once I had all the rails scribed and fitted well, I started fitting them to the seats:

Once bolted I set them to the car. Found out a major flaw I forgot to account for.
The bolt heads that bolt up into the bottom of the seat, foul the mounts on the car when placed in the car.

So I figured I had to resort to spacing the seat rails up higher. Unfortunately this meant I had to redo a few of the mounts because I didn't have enough meat on the bends to accommodate a spacer.

At this point in the build I did not own a welder. The only thing I could think of as a spacer was to cut out some 1/2" plywood shims.

I epoxied these to the steel seat rails. This gave enough clearance to bolt the seats in the car. Seat rails work fine. Job done. The seats are very comfortable.
