Must you remove the front seat to get the front floor pan out of a 1942? Mine is ready to come out but I can't slide it back far enough to tilt it up under the dash or forward enough to tilt it up in front of the seats. Thx.
I reckon I would take the seat out, you may find rust under there that needs a bit of attention anyhow. lol
Should only be 4 bolts to take it out,( and get someone to help lift it out), unless the bolts are rusted in, that was my problem, terrible. Think "No Rust" "No rust" . Good luck with yours.

Rust? I'm sure the rust stops in the front pan and doesn't continue under the seat! :o Seriously, I know you are right, but I really want to focus on the brakes. My goal is to drive the car around the block this summer and I need brakes to do that. Knowing how things go, if I try to remove the seat I will end up with broken bolts and won't be able to get the seat back in.
I discovered that the front lower seat cushion is easily removable, leaving plenty of room to remove the floor panel. I may still remove the seat, but I don't have to at this time.
