Default Rear Seat Delete You Can Do Your Own

I'm in the final stages of my own rear seat delete. It is going to look top grade. If there is enough interest out there I'll attempt to do a Taco Bill How To.
I bought some deep pile carpet a 4x4 sheet of 1/2' plywood some good grade brackets and used some stuff laying in my wood shop.
Total cost about 250.00. But my carpet was 149.00. I am lousy at cutting carpet so I went to the carpet store....side job cash $50.00. Total weight MAYBE 40lbs if that. So if I do my post after it's in and you like it The 250.00 is on the high side.

the stock seats weigh less than 40 lbs i think......so you are actually adding weight i think?

Why not use sheet metal.. Is that not lighter?
