Thanks Nik! They are out of my old 1992 Dodge, the great doner of parts for the project I'm hoping the angle I had to put on the retractor won't affect the locking function. There wasn't a lot of options to keep it out of the way for anyone getting into the back. There is an awesome step by step on the 60-66 Suburban area about three point belt install, helped a lot. They show how to install the fasteners into the regular cab b-pillar and floor. Any good condition belt out of pick and pull should be good. I spent some time cleaning my belt material with soap and water, couldn't believe the dirt that came out hahaha.

More progress this week!

I moved the passengers seat up to match the drivers. I also spent some time filling in all the holes on the passengers side.



Then I moved on to the 3 point seat belt for the passengers side. Went in easier after figuring everything on the drivers.



After the seat belt install, I patched up the shifter and parking braking holes in the trans tunnel cover.





I finished up the day patching around the mounting point for the stock accelerator pedal, looking to smooth it out for a better seal for the trans tunnel cover.

I think my compressor calved out today, it was making some bad sounds. Serves me right, it's only a small hobby compressor. Well I might be in the market for an appropriate sized one but still in 110v and portable. I was thinking 2hp +, with a 15 to 20 gal tank. I looked at a Ingersoll and Rand in a 2hp 20gal at KMS tools and the California Air compressor online. Any suggestions?

Hey Guys,

I have been keeping at it! Spent some time working on the trans tunnel, finished up the rust repair there and added a few fasteners. Then I moved on to the drivers side door jam, noticed some pitting around the knee knocker. Here's a before and after.





Way slower with out my air tools, need to get the compressor going again!
