Any issues with rear interior panels and rear seat installation?

Yes, I narrowed my seat and re-wrapped the cover and notched my interior panels around the mini tubs. About the best pictures I have of rear.
What do I do with this bracket? I need to cut it somehow when I cut the tub in half. Do I just cut it in half and weld it back on once I move the tub over.
Would you cut the tub down the middle of the flanges or just to the side? I imagine it would be hard to cut through all of the spot welds?

I moved mine inboard with the inner tubs. Yes, it's a pain to get out.

I had to replace the trunk floor inner and outer wheel wells and both quarter panels.
After replacing the floor I cut out the inner wheel well at the factory seem with a cut off wheel
Then I cleaned up my cut leaving the inner wheel wells for a reference point to install the new wider outer wheel wells from AMD after installing the inner I went back cut out the outer wheel wells that way I never lost my alignment point and the Quarter panel fit right up

Ok, I was able to get the the pans in and fit up nicely. Next question is metal prep. I was thinking about preping the metal then using spraymax 2k epoxy. I'll probably use some type of undercoating to finish it off. Can I spray the undercoating on top of the 2k epoxy?
I also got the passenger side inner wheel tub cut out. Next I will cut the floor and install the US cartool frame notch.

Are you leaving the leaf springs or going with coil over rear suspension
I have a garage full of front & rear RMS Alterktion suspension boxes
rear will be RMS streetlynx. I can't wait to get started on the fun part.Thank you! It hasn't been as difficult as I expected.

Looks familiar I just figured out my back spacing on the rear wheels I’m going to order the rims this week. 3-4 month wait.
Did you go with the 4 inch narrowed housing or stock width?

Nice piles of parts everyone has. I bought my wheels first. Mounted up some tires and mini-tubbed and we built my car around the tires and wheels.

Everything is working out good
Trying to have it finished by the end of this year.

Did you narrow the rear 4" total or 4" each side?

2 inches per side 4 total.
That’s what Bill recommended
I’m using a 19X12 wheel with a 6” backspacing with a 345/35 tire.
