No sure why there never was a INTERIOR Category?

Post by lavron »

So I might make a INTERIOR category if enough people think we would use it :roll:

I will ask here for now about an interior question but also a safety thing, I kinda want a shoulder belt in my car, has anyone installed one, or seen a good writeup anywhere, or know of a place that sells good ones.

I guess the one thing I am willing to spend a little extra money on is good sealtbelts, they don't have to be new if someone knows a good donor I could get some from.

I can use ones that would mount in a sedan and I have pretty much convinced myself to use the T-Bird seats and I think everyone agreed with that (trim or not) which have lap belts bolted too them but I don't have to use them. (they would need replaced anyway)

There is a Maverick in the JY and I wonder about them or if I could find a Pinto/M2 or the like, even though it has been forever since I have seen any of those. I don't want the kind that strap you down tight either :roll: guess I am kinda picky.

Anyhow, no rush just thought I might start looking.

See Ya,
Mike

I think it's a great idea! All interior items. I've been thinking on shoulder and rear belts for my 64 4dr.

This looks like maybe a good option, I would rather use new ones than old ones from the JY, price is not too bad, I assume it is per belt but haven't studied it long enough yet :roll:

I would not advise installing used belts though I did do that once. Pulled the belts out of a Pinto that I installed in my 66 mustang. Worked out real well and never had a problem with them. I would be reluctant to do that again.

I installed 3 point belts in my ranchero. Had to install anchor points for the upper point plus relocated the bottom anchor points on the rocker side.

Installing 3 point belts in a sedan get a little more difficult and extremely difficult in an HT or convert. Not as many choices for the upper mount.

Adding an interior section might be a good thing as I see someone is always looking for interior materials and parts.

I have been searching for interior for a 65 Comet 404 2 dr. sedan, and have yet to come up with any. If anyone knows of a place to get them, please let me know.

I vote YES for the interior section. I'm a long way from that point, but it would come in handy when I get there.

Procar makes a pretty decent looking bucket seat.

Hey, Mike.....Whatever happened to that Interior category you suggested? It would be a great place for folks to post pics of the neat things they've done to their interiors, and for the rest of us to steal them shamelessly. :wink:

Hey Joe, I've used 3 set's of those Procar 90's (white ones in the video). I installed white ones in Deedie's buggy in 2011. They have held up well. I also used them on two different Manx build's. What's nice is Scat will sell you material by the yard to make the rear seat match.
Now, a fellow Dune buggy builder put them in his car and had some issue's with the foam breaking down. Scat is usually really good to deal with though.

66 Cyclone GT; 245/60R15's on 15x8's and 215/70R15's on 15x7 Magnum's.
There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.
