Re: Dad's 1979 GMC Heavy Half Transformation

This afternoon I started the process of reconditioning the mystic seat belts. Tomorrow I will use "Mystic" rattle-can plastic paint (mixed by USA1) to re-coat the seat belt covers. I asked JaysonB what he used to clean the belt fabric, he said he used OxiClean and Joy Dish Soap. So, I mixed up some OxiClean in a couple gallons of hot water and let the seat belts (extracted and clamped) soak for about four hours. I then rinsed the seat belts off and brought them to the bathtub and scrubbed them with Joy Dish Soap then rinsed. As of now, the seat belts are hanging in the garage to dry. Maybe it's the age of the belts, but it looks like GM used light gray on the lower belt and mystic (light color) on the part of the belt that hung and went across your chest?? Turned out pretty good. Should lighten up when the belts are dry.

I also gathered all the plastic pieces that need sprayed and cleaned and will prep for paint tomorrow. Thanks Mike
