My original plan was to use the bottom of the old seat foam, as it already had all of the contours of the seat pan, but sliced down and with new foam added to the top. I tried this. But the old foam was in sad shape. So I just used the new foam. I didn't cut every contour into it, but I cut out the biggest ones so the it fit fairly nicely. I tried a few tools, the grinder seemed to work best.
I taped the edges of the glass backing to make sure that they wouldn't wear through the fabric. The fabric I chose was marine vinyl. I used spray adhesive to hold things in place temporarily, stretched the fabric over the foam and around the glass backer, and attached it with pop rivets.
I intend to make another one for the seat back, but haven't gotten to it yet. Here are a few pics of the process and results:
