Just got my seat belts back...

from Ssnake-oyl restoration. These folks are really wizards at making old hardware look like it is right out of Lansing. Webbing is new and correct. Not cheap, but worth every penny; I am very pleased. This is "driver quality" so imagine what show quality must look like. They will even put correct labels on webbing for a fee.

Wow! They look great! How much? Where are they located? Are they your originals, just reconditioned?

My seat belts are still in a bin waiting to go in, I am thinking this might be a good thing to do before they go back in.

The belts were the original, very worn, rusted hardware. The webbing was dirty and stiff. So these folks redo the hardware and put on new correct webbing. I had both front bucket seat belts done plus the shoulder strap belt (4 belts with GM buckles plus the two retractable belts) for $443. They are in Tyler, Texas. here is their website: http://www.ssnake-oyl.com/

Your belts came out mint. My brother used them for his 67 vette and had the professional restoration done. I ended up using Python Restoration in Richardson Texas. He ended up restoring my complete set for my 71 convertible for $375.00. My rear seat belts did not need to be re-webbed but there were dissassembled, painted/polished and date coded. My front buckles did not match the original manufacturer that came with the car. I believe there were two companies providing buckles back then, General Saftey and Bay Trim. He exchanged and restored the fronts so I had a matching set. I'll see if I have some pics to post when I get to my work computer.
