Personally for the side panels I would modify them to flare out on the top and front, then come straight down on the inside surface. The rear portion could either taper back or cut in behind the wheelhouse. Do as much in metalwork as possible, then filler and sand/paint like a body panel.

For the floor piece it's just a matter of narrowing it to fit, and cutting custom carpet.

The folding seat...I'm not sure it needs much? Maybe trimming of part of the wire frame? I'd have to see how close your tubs are.

after looking at pics and talking to different guys about there modifications i'm still not sure exactly how i will modify the rear seat most people relocate it forward to clear but i really want mine to stay in the stock location the tubbing and the cargo panels will be very simple to make look factory but the seat design on this car makes for quite a challenge they do not have a simple wire frame like most seats but i think i will attempt to cut it down only on the back section and leave the front wire frame alone this way it will just taper around the panels
