Message Some questions that I would be asking myself before doing this:

Do I know how to modify the existing chassis so that the added seat will be strong enough to survive an accident?

Is the relocated gas tank going to be able to withstand a rear collision without exploding?

Am I willing to risk the lives of my friends (or heaven forbid, kids) or be liable for any imjuries that may occur to the passenger in that seat in the event of an accident?

Personally, I am not an engineer, so I don't know how difficult it would be to do this. Some people on this board are engineers, and I see them use some pretty sophisticated modeling software. If I were going to do something this major, I would certainly listen to what they say.
