So I found the battery terminal cover and I even bought extra as I know Ron wants a set.

Step One - Trim them a little bit at a time

Trimming just a little more

All Done

Remember that missing Headlight ring I have good news I actually found it.

Wiper Cowl Screen. I still have the original one however, I think a new one is necessary.

I need to pick up a few stainless steel screws to replace them one's I just put in.

I am finally installing the Seatbelt Planet seat belts up front and I forgot how nice they look.

Good News is they match the door pull perfectly

Moving over to the Drivers Side

Not sure if I am going to add two more Zipties

I added a washer & nut to the center hump seat belt bolts.

I pulled the passenger seat out as I don't like the how the seat back plates look with the seat bracket.

Plan B or is it C

I moved the set back brackets to the top of seat slider.

With the front seat going back in I decided I should get some temporary seat covers. So off to Autozone I go for Touch Up Paint and Seat Covers !!!!

Good News the seat covers fit great and they are even airbag safe.

I hope this will be the last time I have to remove and install the Anvil Close Outs.

Prepping for the Fender Braces and I really wish I new where these came from as I love them and can't remember.

Test Fitting

I need to remove the Anvil pieces for some slight trimmingg.

Man I hope this is enough.

I will be using the hood stops to hold down the outside of the Anvil Close out and to prevent damage to the close out
panel I installed a rubber washer.

Once everything is final I will tighten these down.

I seem to like taking engine bay shots and then looking back at them. I have decided that I will be painting the radiator
and the throttle body black over the winter.

What is happening here? Are those bolts tight and the belts can't swivel?

Couple of observations, I can't see your car from here but based on this picture.....

I think the harness bar is backwards. What you have as the front should be the rear. That would allow the belts to point up from the bracket and wrap over the top of the bar to the seat. As it is now, if you ever needed those shoulder harnesses, the seat belt loops themselves are just going to fold up.

If mounted the way I described they would be loaded in tension.

Hi Donny,

All of the bolts are tight and the brackets can't swivel. However, since the brackets are so close together I need to put a
washer behind one of them so the brackets can be flat. In the rare occasion that I have a passenger in the back seat I was
worried about them bumping the bracket. On a side note you will have to be one hell of a contortionist to get back there.

Here is a side shot of what it looks like and I am open to your advice as I this is all new to me.

Well it is finally leaving the garage today.

I had to pull the ramps out of the garage attic.

I love the video from the Ring Camera

I haven't seen the back end of this car in years

Thanks for the side pic. That is all wrong and it will never be perfect but it can be better.

Turn the harness bar around so the welded tabs are on the back side but still pointed down. Then bolt the harnesses on the back side. I would consider bolting them on with the angle going forward even, assuming it will fit that way.

Side bar. Nobody you like should be sitting in that back seat with that harness bar there.
