For me, I have my original belts too, but they are old and potentially unsafe, and to restore them is more money than it is worth. So I am going with an aftermarket seat belt set, and at the same time stream lining the interior by moving the retractor behind the quarter trim panel.  I don’t like the look of replacement 3 point belts with the way it loops up then down, so I’m doing something that I think looks better.  Safer and better looking... yeah that works for me.

The hood tach I purchased from eBay. I just pulled it apart, stripped it down and painted it the same as the hood as they only come in white. It works great and I’m very happy with it.  They are still available . 
 
 
 

My 69 Coupe's 50th will be 11/26/18. I was hoping to have it running for the occasion, but that will not happen.

 

They usually start building "next year's models" around July or August. For example, I heard a radio ad today enticing me to go buy a 2019 RAM pickup.

Mine turns 50 tomorrow.  I guess I have resurrected it from near death....
  Built in Dearborn, November 17, 1969.  Rescued from the graveyard, March. 2013
Headed to paint in 2019
 
 
 
 
 

happy birthday, great looking 50 yo.

Hard to believe I'm 13 years older that my damn car!

Happy birthday! Hard to believe these cars are half a century old!

Happy Birthday.

Celebrating the 50th birthday of my mustang today. I purchased it over 10 years ago from Oregon and shipped it to Australia where it’s had a well deserved restoration. I hope I look this good when I turn 50 in a couple of years lol.

Your not wrong there Bigmal. The cost of getting anything down here from the US is crazy .

You know you married the right one when it’s your 24th anniversary and instead of going out for a romantic dinner she’s in the shed giving me a hand doing a compression test on my 302 .
