Any secrets to remove the seat frame nuts to the floor, on my 48 coupe?

Keith, I am assuming you are having trouble getting the bolts out. If you are having problems with stripping the heads don't continue to try to turn them until you go under the car, clean of the tips of the threads that are sticking out under the floorboard and oil them with liquid wrench. Also squirt liquid wrench inside the car. If the heads are stripped and squished then you will have to use a vice grip. If the vice grip crumbles the soft metal heads of the bolts so much that you can turn them then take a dremmel cutter to the head, take the seat out and then use vice grips on what's levet of the bolt. Otherwise you will have to drill them out. Take your time.

I just figured it out. I didn't see the bolts to remove the frame from the track. I had to use a long 1/2 inch wrench to get to the outside nuts for the bracket to the floor going under the little gap from the seat to the floor. Now I see how it is done on the 48.
