ps My agent is a very close friend so i value his opinion.
Also if your retrofitting belts into your car make sure you put the proper doughnut / re-enforcement plates at all mounting points.
I know juliano's make 3 point retrofit belts for muscle cars and they are also certified.

Marty,
Thanks for the info, but I have a question. I was looking around the link you provided and could not find anywhere where they stated the belts were DOT Certified. I saw a bunch about testing, but nothing about certification. Did I miss it? I would like to get this right. When it comes time to get these, I'll give them a call.
By the way, it is looking awesome. I can't wait to see it in Columbus.
