There are brackets on the floor and large plates inbehind the seats - where these in place before paint or after?
Seems like the seat track brackets where not in place before paint?
Any guidance ?
Thanks

My '58 has been repainted so I don't know about the large brackets behind the seats (which are painted like yours), but my seat track brackets on the floor are definitely not painted.
