A journey through the process of turning an ordinary classic car into a modern, pro-touring machine - all of today's amenities and Vette-like handling.

Final Assembly - Seat Belts & Rear View Mirror (February 13 - 14, 2014)
The rear seat belts are the OEM units. Most likely they will spend the rest of their life under the seat (my kids are grown and if either of them wants a ride they will insist on shotgun, since neither of them is "certified" for domestic horsepower. LOL).
The front belts are from Morris Classic concepts. They installed perfectly. The only mod I made was to re-stack the mounting brackets to move the unit outboard from the seat about 1/8" to clear the lumbar adjustment on the Cerullo seats. A side note: I broke one of the clamshell covers that goes at the roof mount. I contacted Billy Morris and he gladly sent me a replacement @ n/c. Great guy to work with.
This is a Gentex 226 rear view mirror we picked up on ebay for $35. It is auto dimming and has map and courtesy lamps (LED). You can get these with a compass and thermometer as well.
Mounting the "puck" to the windshield.
Made my own harness which runs across the top of the windshield and down the driver's side A pillar. The connections are: sw. ignition, battery, courtesy gnd. and chassis gnd.
