Larry, if you knew the answer, why did you ask the question? ;-)
Seriously, seat bolt blind nuts should be quite visible on the underside
of the floor pan -- a little heat should help. On the lens, you must be
talking a 1970 here, with the single centered backup lamp? Careful
drilling would work best here, I think. The windscreen shouldn't be too
bad, unless the car has gone belly-up at the hands of some PO. :-(
