Even if they had the frame and all, wouldn't I have to pull the cushions off the frame to bolt the frame to the floor?

As I said, I had never done it before. I was under the impression all you had to do was move the seat all the way in one direction, pull two bolts out of the floor. Then slide the seat the other direction and remove the other two bolts and lift out the seat ???? If it is more involved, then I appologise and would like to know how to do it correctly ?? |headscratch|

I'm guessing about how to take the frame out. You might be right, and I might be wrong. |headscratch|

Vette(s): 1979 Black coupe. 11256 original, documented, miles on it when I bought it in April of 2000. It now has 13100 on it. Oyster interior, like new. Everything original, everything works, except the clock. Paint has a couple of minor flaws.

Vette(s): 1976 L48 RoadDemon carb, Weiand intake, 3:36 gears, DUALS.
Pulled the seats from my 76 a few times. Fairly easy. Just 4 bolts. Used a screw driver and inserted thru the frame, carpet, body, to help assist in re-aligning the seats for bolt insertion.

That looks great Adam. I'm up for that project sometime in the future myself (once I save up for new covers!) |laugh|

BTW, in 1970 the factory carpet trim procedure was the back seat tracks over the top of the carpet and bolted through holes in the carpet. The front carpet had two flaps about the width of the seat track. The carpet lifted up (hinged at the front) and the track sat under the carpet flap.
