Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts
These were restored for a board member. 1968 Chevelle SS. I’ve only done 1 other set for a Chevelle. But I love doing these, they are my favorite buckles! Overall, they weren’t in too bad of shape. 2 of the chrome latches were pretty rusty & pitted. Got lucky, and there’s someone on EBay that sells Chevelle belts, and he is only 10 minutes away. So I was able to get a couple of replacements right away.
So everything was throughly cleaned, and rust removed from the chrome pieces. Buckles disassembled for that same reason. The caps were cleaned and freshened up with black, and the emblems polished up.
These are the Before Pics.
