Moving on.

Time to finally install the rear seat belts that I had custom made from Seat Belt Planet. You get to pick everything from colors of material to finishes on the buckles. The best part is the belts are DOT legal.

Prior to this I ran a tap thru the outside bolts.



This is how it looked without the belts.

Thanks for the Seatbelt Planet lead, Marty. I really need new belts as I'm still running around on the original ones. I really like your rear harness belts.

Looking really good. How did you anchor the shoulder belts?

Your Welcome.

The other lead I can offer is for 3 point seat belts is Morris Classic Concepts as they have a specific DOT approved kit for the front and rear for most of the popular old cars. (( www.morrisclassic.com )) They also offer them in custom colors as well.

I will try to find some pics from Sema last year add it to the thread.

IDK if it would be a performance difference, but thought you should be aware.
Houston we may have a problem as I glued it in yesterday.

Thanks John,

I had the guys at High Speed Welding weld bung in the package tray for this exact reason way back in July in 2011

Great updates Marty!! The seat belts look great and I love the black tail panel
BTW the picture of you in the trunk reminded me to ask you what support cylinder you used. The one that came with my hinges is way too strong, I thought I was going to snap the deck lid in half trying to close it!!! Fesler is sending me a 100lb. (I believe) to try.

I went with a 20lb strut with the Eddie Motorsports hinges on my carbon fiber deck lid.

Thanks John! Hopefully I'm wrong (probably ) about Fesler sending me a 100 lb. as a replacement. I told them it was a carbon fiber lid.

Yeah, 100lb seems really stiff.

Nice updates Marty!

I hadn't seen the cage install - that looks badass!

I've been slammed with this LSA install on my SS.
