WOW, I just read your article and had no idea you had gone through the tough ordeal of the wreck. Hope you're much better now.

I too have only lap belts. I think your great article has convinced me to step up and make the change.

Beautiful work on your Bird Ernie. Like he leather interior a lot. Was that done in Dallas?

Does the chain link keep the top from interfering? I tried that position with my fixed mount, non-retractable, belts and it worked great until the top was folded. I ended up going into the side panel and using a spacer. It still takes some adjusting when I put the top back up.

I really love your interior though, very clean down to the allen screws holding the door latches.

Ernie, Thank you for taking the time and effort to post this. I for one needed to be reminded that the Tbird is my only car that does not have three point belts. Pete

I have written an article on installing this system of seat belts in the little birds.

I know there are numerous owners of these cars on this site.

I am attaching a link to pictures and the article. Click on the link at the bottom of
