Good morning, 

I am looking for some advice on seatbelts and frankly the seats in my 29. I would prefer to just have the seats reupholstered and add after market seatbelts secured to a cross member bolted to the frame. This is not an authentic restoration but I am trying to not do anything to the car that cannot be undone if a future owner decides to do a full restoration. 

My wife is a retired trauma nurse and has seen the results of lax safety equipment and practices in cars, trucks and motorcycles. She rides in the car with me but is not really comfortable with no seatbelt and seats that could potentially launch you to the windshield. 

So I think adding seatbelts is not a bad idea and really not an expensive or hard job. Then I started to think… I put modern seats in my 5 Chevy. They came out of a 2014ish Equinox. So could I do that with the 29? I know I can buy seat rails and maybe just mount those to the original seats so the seats are secure to the floor and will slide forward for access to the back seat. Then add the seatbelts secured to a cross member.

Has anyone added seat rails and or seatbelts to a car that they are trying to keep the original look in a safer ride?  

Thanks 

Rich
