RE: bucket seats
My plugs were pretty shot when I recently removed my seats. They basically crumbled upon prying them out.
However, its worth noting that great care should be taken when removing the seat nuts. I spent nearly 20 minutes trying to fish one out with a coat hanger when I dropped it in between the double floor pan of my '67. [:@]

I don't know if it is the same for all stangs, but I seem to recal that the bolts holding the seats in my 67 were "star" heads. Or it could have been my 69. It was a while ago. Don't know the exact name, but I got sockets on the SK specialty tool rack at my auto parts store.
Good luck.

No, you just need some good snap-on sockets and ratchets, and throw those cheap Taiwanese sockets and ratchets in the nearest dump.
