I'm a little worried about cutting the pad to the right size and shape but I think I can get close if I trace the seat frame and make my cuts based on that.
Please let me know if I'm way off base on anything. Wish me luck!

I cheated and took the easy path and bought a replacement seat. I didn't trust my upholstery 'skills', although I saved my old rusty seat frame in the parts archive.
This guy wrote a piece about his CA95 project, which included a seat job similar to what you're doing. Might want to check his article, which is in PDF format. He includes some pictures of the seat foam.
Good luck with the seat.
