When does a Restoration become a Restomod?

Barry, are you thinking about making a thread on seat belts/shoulder harnesses? You must of figured out an easy seat modification to lock the seat backs in place. I for sure, would be really interested in what you have come up with!

While it would be wonderful to restrain the seat back I couldn’t devise a way to do that. However, using a mounting point for the rear seat belt I was able to install a shoulder strap that crossed my chest and attached to a substantial mount inside the transmission tunnel. It provides a surprising amount of strength and keeps front seat occupants in place and off the steering wheel and dashboard.

Thanks Barry! I take it you are not using a lap belt? BTW, is your interior leather color black?

A lap belt and shoulder sling. It gives the same restraint as a 3 point harness. With someone pushing me from the back seat the front seat back doesn't move at all.

Interior and top are now light blue. Did a color reversal on the seats. They looked too Bill Blass for the period. Also did away with the 9" wide armrest for the back seat,
