Default Re: Remove '40 Coupe Seat

Excellent Russ! I struggled getting the front seat out of my convertible last year to better insulate the floor. What a struggle! Getting the last cotter pin for the driver seat back in was a challenge too.

Slid the seat out, remove the seat backs as it slid out, and picked up the seat bottom with the chain fall to set it on a rolling cart.
Bolted 3/8" by 3" long bolt through the seat mounting bracket holes as guide to keep the seat on the rail track.
