Cheesecake ala Tucker

Sounds like a nice tidbit for the car scrapbook.

Yes, I will admit this was a much better style. However I would have preferred a 1967 Dodge Charger

I never cared much for the Mustang back in 1964-5. Now, 60 years later, I still don't.

What a great picture for scale, and that's only a part of the whole airplane I notice a 1938 Plymouth on the left-hand side pulling out.

I never knew that. Mine was a 65 Auto on the floor 225 Slant 6. It was the best car I have ever owned.

Ooo, I like the Packard. I'll trade you even up with my 37 Plymouth. 👍

I would think that your wiring for your turn signals is messed up somewhere. I think you are going to have to use your meter and trace wires checking grounding. I remember My dad had a 1960 Chrysler Saratoga when I was a kid (I loved that car styling, if you turned on the radio, turn signal, flashers and put your foot on the brakes, the radio would come on without any key.

Thanks Los Eneto. My thought was not how do I survive a 50+mph collision. I won't. I have that steering wheel and windshield only feet from my chest & face. I have only had one instance in the last 7 years we have owned Miss Daisy where some idiot cut in front of me and then turned right across traffic. I had to apply the brakes hard. It made my wife come out of her seat a bit. At least a seatbelt would have secured her a bit better. That is my goal. I drive my car like I did my motorcycle cautiously with plenty of space in front. It is no guarantee but, it helps. Now how am I going to mount this thing?

Mine is bolted to the floor as seen in the photo above. Interesting bolting the belts to this frame. I'll have to look into it. My concern would be the strength of the frame withstanding a crash. Will it rip out or buckle? The other thought is your face is not that far from the windshield and seatbelts might lessen the impact, but if they rip out your still going to go splat.

There is the problem. Mine is NOT open. I understand going over the bottom seat. It is the frame that is in the way. I thought of cutting 4 slots large enough to get the anchor through and then try to line that slot with plastic or something to stop any fraying that might happen.

I understand about the anchorage of the seatbelts. The question is the pathway of the Belt. In looking at the seat frame it looks like I have to go straight up with the belt instead of it being at an angle as per what I have seen on normal belt placement I noticed in Julianos the mounting is 'Behind' the seat. That seems impossible as my seat frame is in the way.

I just had a look under the seat for mounting. There isn't much space there. What angle do seatbelts need to be at? Here is under my seat. Front is to the right.

Has anyone installed front seatbelts on a 1937/38 4-door Plymouth, Dodge, Desoto, Chrysler? My concern is the mounting bolts location.

I agree to a point. When I was going to buy an old car, I wanted a Ford Model A. My wife who is English said their ok but they look like any other car from that era. I had to agree. However my first car was a 1965 Barracuda which hardly looks the same as a 1965 Mustang. Recently we were in a parking lot next to a 2002 Mini. When it left oddly enough another Mini pulled in but it was a 2013 year and looked almost identical. The point I am making is it matters not today what make you see they all look the same with minor differences.
