I like your idea of using a seat from a junk yard too.

Im pretty amazed at myself I just told myself stop being lazy & do something.
Since everything you do now a day cost some kind of money, I set myself budget to build this thing didnt really have a plan.
So I go to my cars (00 Honda Civic & 09 Ralliart) measured
-from floor to the bottom of the wheel & top. (18 Bottom 31 top)
-from gas pedal to the edge of the wheel (18-20")
-the width of the leg & knee room (20-22")
I did measure from pedal to the seat but that irrelevant cause you can move the seat back for taller people move the seat closer for shorter people.
Thats how a real car seats work.
Now these are actual measurement from my seating position in my real cars.
I start to vision it drew a sketch of it & went to Home Depot.
1 x 27x48" approx The board I used was I think 3 or 4 ply as a base.
1 x 2x4 Wood- cut to
2 x 18" &
2 x 24" (Although 24" is a little too tall should be around 18-21" @ an angle cause the wheel is at an angle)
4 x Metal Support brackets *dont know what its actually called* (only needed 2)
4 x Smaller Brackets
My sketch..
