The last part of the tie in on the right side back of the car  was to locate the anchor points for the seat belts. Since the inner panel in the rear area was in a little farther that the 06 I had to create a new pocket that would allow the belt reel to recess in leaving the belt more or less flush to the outside. Another anchor point was fabricated out of .060 steel in the "C" post itself about where that pick up point was on the 06. With these two pieces welded in I moved to the front belt housing This has a much bigger reel since it houses not only the belt but some nifty explody stuff that ties in with the SRS system. This was originally housed in the "B" pillar of the 06 so I mounted it just behind the seat in a similar location . This will be covered by an arm rest side panel. Not shown is the belt going up to the roof through a loop and back down again. Believe it or not the loop had a bolt in it that threaded right into the shoulder harness bolt location already in the 68 roof. Shocked Got lucky there. I was sure this was a metric bolt that would not fit into that location but apparently to my surprise the standard for seatbelt anchor bolts was established back in the 60's and hasn't been changed since.
