    Moved my mav with the help of a friend to a concrete pad to start cleaning out the inside.
    Found a dead bird. Gross. Stuck on how to remove the front seats? Not sure exactly where they are bolted to the floor.

    You need to get under the car, there are nuts under there (2 of them per side) out by the rocker panels that hold it down.

    Bought some new parts for my t5 swap. Looked around in the junkyard but didn't find anything I needed. It wasn't a complete failure, got to drive a golf cart while looking for parts. Also swapped phone numbers with a guy stripping parts off a '51 F100 that said that he has the 250 six A/C bracket that I needed.
