"It is for a shoulder belt system for street use and a cross bar for 6 point belts for track use."
So you are going to run 2 different belt systems based on use... Will both be installed at the same time OR do you plan to change over from street to track when needed?

That is the plan to have a street 3 point belt set up and a 6 point for the track. We have not designed it yet.
If it is a hassle I’ll go back to what I have always used. A 6 point set up and just wear the lap belt on the street.
I'm interested in seeing what you come up with. I've had my 69 for over 34 years and 32 were driving on the street with stock belts. Started to autocross 2 years ago and stock belts aren't enough. I still spend a lot of time on the street driving to local cruise-ins.

Have you tried the Morris Classic 3 point belts? I have it. A very nice upgrade to the stock lap belts.
Because I know the car will see track use we added a simple roll hoop. It is for a shoulder belt system for street use and a cross bar for 6 point belts for track use.
More photos to come soon.
Mark, Do you have a picture of how you mount the Recaro seat tracks?
We had a plastic elbow break under dash in the heater lines on a past project. We have move to stainless steel. I bit overkill but I would be shocked if it failed.
All the BS because I wanted to keep the BBC heater line location out of the heater core box.
This thing is so good! Question: will you be using a GM ecu tuned for speed density or something like a Holley to control this thing? I'm currently putting together a retro look LS and was curious.

We are using Holley. It seems sorted and fairly straightforward.
