Re: 1965 Ford Mustang
Thanks, I really appreciate it. And yes, 3 points are a MUST. I've owned my C10 since I was 15 in 1996 and my dad wouldn't even let me drive it until I installed them, and when a seatbelt saved my life a couple years later I don't want to drive anything without them. It was driving me nuts waiting as long as I did to actually do it, I kept to roads that were 55Mph and under, with most being in the 35-45mph range.
I know I cheated by buying a car that was "done" but I'm "making it mine" which is NOT cheap. The stereo/dynamat/3 point update (see pics below for backseats as well) has cost around $900, I just ordered a VA kit, more on that in a bit, for $1280, the wheels/tires I want are ~$1,300 (see above pics), I spent $400 for a power brake kit (already has discs) and I'll probably spend another $800-1K updating/dropping/improving the suspension. This car is not going anywhere for a while! But it's OK, because in less than two weeks I'm going to be paying off the last of my 27K student loan debt, which I've been paying anywhere from $300 to over $1K per month since I went back to work in 2010 to wipe it out (been paying on it since 2005, so I should have a little "money to burn" to finish this car and finish up my home resto. I know I haven't been updating that thread, but I'm down to one bedroom (trim only), the bonus room above the garage, and the upstairs hallway, all other rooms are now done and fully furnished.
My computer messed up, I had to restart and do a bunch of crap to it. Here are the pics for the previous post:
