Rear shoulder belts in a 1970 Charger

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 only the four anchor points underneath the cushion. While it still works, the angle of the belt is steeper, and the width between the receiver and the retractor belt mount is narrower than in the Charger. If this setup proves to be too awkward, I could weld a nut to the rocker and carefully cutout a section of the quarter panel card. Any cutting would be hidden by the lower cushion.

It's hard to get a good angle, this is a closeup of the passenger's side.

For those of you who have youngsters or grandkids and want to install the child seat tether bracket, the Mopar p/n is 5065274AA. The anchor cover is p/n 1VV91DX9AA, although I purchased mine on Ebay. You can also pull them from late model Charger/Challenger/300 from a wrecking yard, although the ones I grabbed were a bit faded.
 
Heck yeah!
The recent software changes to the forum have had some pictures come through out of position. Some are clocked 90 or 180 degrees. It does not matter if pictures are posted with a phone or laptop, this glitch affects both.
The new package tray with the belt guides looks like a factory job. Nice work.
