Got the seats back in and found our why they don't want to slide. First issue was that bolts through the floor were pigeon toe'd to one another front to back. So this causes the tracks to bind when trying to slide it forward. So I had to elongate some of the track holes to compensate.
With this the seat frame slid just fine. Put the seat cushion back in, and once again wouldn't slide. Problem is that the seat back sides are rubbing on the sail panel pieces. Looking at it it because when the rear deck plywood piece was replaced in the past. The side pieces that wrap around the seats are to narrow in relation to seat back width. So it basically wedges the seat in that position. So I'll need to trim that wood a bit.
Anyway, I folded the top frame as I kept banging my head on it while messing with seat.
Also, I got the hood back on so I can start aligning the front sheetmetal.
