Vin63 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) The pandemic put my '64 Super Wildcat project on hold for quite awhile, but I did get one of the interior items done. I spent a lot of time tracking down parts here and there to cobble together enough hardware for a set of front and rear seat belts. I work with a great chome plater and I'm a dealer rep for DJ Safety/Deist Safety, and they both helped me with chroming the hardware parts (buckles, tabs, etc.), and I was able to track down some pea soup color webbing (which turned out to be a lot tougher to find than I expected) that DJ Safety sewed together for me - and used the original Brown-Line tags.

gungeey Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 that's a unique car! Non AC Manual seat, custom interior with Power vents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XframeFX Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 OMG, very nice interior and you went the extra step with those seat belts! That is the last detail for my '63s interior and I gave up on it (for now). Not sure about 1964 but it appears seatbelts were black only in '63, mine being Brownlines as well. I see you have belt mounted retractors as well. I found and Industrial Supply place that does slings and cargo nets. They will do my seat belts if I supply the HW. After seeing your results, it has me thinking . . . . Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old '63 (I was the second owner) I sold a few years ago had the navy blue leather interior and a set of navy blue webbing Brown-Line seat belts.

1965rivgs Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 `63 seat belts were available in aqua, black, blue, gray, red, rose, saddle, and sandalwood. At some point in time, I have had `63 belts in 4 of those colors. Vin, I dont recall ever seeing the loose part of the Brownline tag you pictured, even on NOS `64 Brownlines? Are those tags reporo`s? Thanks, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Tom The single-sided stitched tags at the mounting tabs are the FMVSS DOT tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are these tags a replication of what would have been originally installed on the belts or is this a currently required tag? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
