Re: IML: 1965 Le Baron front seat removal

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

If you have separate front seats, they can also be unbolted from the seat 
frame if you don't want to take the frame out as well. Not sure if a bench 
seat can be taken apart that way or not. At any rate, if you try to remove 
the seat frame, be really careful or  you will snap off the studs. A lot of 
extra work to fix that problem
