;D Well, the 3-point seat belts are installed!! FYI, if you want to do this you need 11' belts like the ones found here:

They work great! The 8' belts some places sell are too short for the '67-68 Mustang. I ordered them first and they didn't fit.
Disappointingly, my carb has some massive fuel leak somewhere. I rebuilt it a few months back and it worked great (except for idling a bit high because I hadn't adjusted it yet). Then when I went to pull the Mustang out of the garage to do the seat belts this weekend, it was very hard to start and wouldn't stay running. Opening the hood, I saw that the entire carb and top of the engine was drenched in gasoline I'm talking *pools* of it sitting in the hollows beside the intake manifold (6cyl). Not good.
I'm accepting defeat at the moment and have arranged to send the carb to Pony Carbs for professional rebuilding. In the meantime, I'm going to make sure it's not a leak in the fuel line. I've heard good things about Pony Carbs... anyone have any experience with them?
