The stuff is thin, but I think the door panel which you have been using is almost the same thickness! Plus, if it warps a little, so what? won't hurt if the seat belt bolt is not square, just so its attached firmly

I wasn't sure on the warping, but I thought I'd mention it. I'm more interested in the rivets for places that are hard (if not impossible) to get to the back of.
What about welding in support for the seat belt and pop riveting the rest? I could do that.
