Seat belts
 
Who is everyone using to restore seat belts? Have the interior out of the car and want to restore the belts back to new. There are no rips in them and the buckles are nice, but want them back to new.

Mine were horrible-stiff and dirty/stained. I cleaned them a couple of times in TSP, and they came out like new, soft and flexible. I bought new labels from Kevin Wright (KevinW on here) and sewed them on with my wife's sewing machine, but it struggled. (and I struggled) If I had it to do over, I would do the same thing, but have the labels sewn on by an upholstry shop.

I used Ssnake Oyl this past Fall to do some belts in my 68 and 69 Camaros. They came out nice, though brutally expensive, IMO. I think the chrome looks great although it fills the lettering a bit. And, though I haven't measured it, I think the black 69 3 panel webbing they used is a bit narrow. They did have some trouble with following the instructions that I sent them, regarding the dated tags, which resulted in me having to send them back twice. After speaking to them on the phone about a few specific 1st gen Camaro details I'm left feeling they don't have a wealth of knowledge about them. I'll post some pics.
