>>i was helping a friend restore a '62 chevy impala and we were surprised to find the connectors in the floor for seat belts. actually having the belts must have been an option. looking at that giant metal dash, seemingly about 5 feet away when sitting in the front seat, she decided we should put seat belts in it. course the driver would have the metal steering wheel to slow her down. ------ From: Terry Atkins Now that brings up a good question and it is somewhat AMC related. If your car did not originaly have seat belts would you have to put them in and how would you put the sholdier belt in them. Around here they let every thing go in classic cars. Open headers, no fenders, slicks you name it they don't bother them. You know though the way they push the seat belt law around here I could see a young cop who wasn't a car guy that wouldn't have a clue that cars were made without seat belts. How long has it been 40 years since cars didn't have them. Terry From: Bradley Jones <wagonmasterx5@xxxxxxxxx> That was cool of him. A friend of mine had to go to court because one of our local officers (our OPD is the laughing stock of the state) gave him a ticket for not having seatbelts in his all original 1957 Chevy. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
