67 GTO is my favorite non-Mopar car. I'll take the tri-power 400 with a 4 spd.
And I think the early to mid 60s Pontiacs were the best looking big cars.
My 69 Coronet had the attachment points on the hump too. 1970 must've been the change year.
The belts lay down in a nicer pattern from the rocker panel.
We pulled the belts out of 10-11 year old cars. Probably not compromised.
While I usually prefer new, I also like to fab up used parts. Plus I get to break out my welder.
The interior is back in and the belt retractors work just fine. The belt mounts are different in the Coronet from Greg's Charger. I don't know if its because they're a different model, or different year. In Jigsaw, the lower belt mount is secured to the rocker panel. In the Coronet, there's...
While reinstalling the cardboard trunk divider, I noticed there were gaps between the divider and the inner fender well. While the back of the upper cushion covers everything up, I glued on cardboard extenders to fill the gap. If nothing else, the extenders may limit some of the raw gas smell...
The mystery of the non-locking retractors is solved. Greg came over last week with Jigsaw to compare the retractors between the two cars. Turns out we never had to dive into Jigsaw.
Greg tested the retractors and got them to lock; it was then that I saw where the issue lied. I was slowly...
I don't have much to add to Greg's account of fabbing up the mounts. I also welded a 7/16-14 bolt to the back of the mount and secured the retractor with a nyloc nut.
For me it's been a rewarding time because it's my first welding project. Earlier this year in Feb/Mar, Greg and I took a...
Stepping back a moment, Greg came by last week with the paper template and some sheet metal plates we had picked up at the local yard.
Being that both cars are B Bodies, his initial fab work made life easier for me. He also brought a prototype mount for the driver's side, that fit the Coronet...
The other issue I had with the first cover was that the cutouts were just slightly larger than the bezel flange. The holes need to be small enough so that the bezels will snap down in place. I started with a smaller diameter and kept working at it with the Dremel until the brackets snapped...
I'm several steps behind Greg on the seat belt retractors as I had a minor setback on the car seat hooks. My measurements on the package tray cover were off by about 1/2", which created a hole that was off-center to the hooks. Still functional, but the gap was too obvious for me to ignore...
