1967 buick special wagon

I tried my best to use the g8 seat belts, but apparently they jam up if the air bags deploy. So I ran across a 3 point setup from jegs.com. I bought one side initially to make sure it would work before buying the passenger side. I'm happy with the fit, and I'm very skeptical that it'll do anything except keep the body inside the car if anything serious happens. But the wagon came with lap belts, and the shoulder belt should keep me from getting a ticket.

Not much of an update. I mounted the passenger seat belt. I took vacation and, in my travels, picked up some matching rims for spares. With the matching rear spare, I won't have to modify the rear wheel openings to fit the front wheels that stick out another 1/2 inch or so.

Time to tackle the rear wheel tubs. I removed the back seats so I could unplug all the electronics attached to the package tray, and then I removed the rear seat Brace. I used bed frame railing to make a bracket to support the battery box and hold the quarter panel out abs away from the tire.

My friend gave me a pair of wheel tubs from his c10, but I'm not confident I can make them work and still look cool. So I'm making braces from the existing wheel tub to the quarter panel and I'll fill in the gaps with the metal from a 55 gallon drum I have. It'll be easier to build around the fuel filler neck on the passenger side that way

I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like this. I'm impressed as you turn another 'corner' to keep fabricating piece by piece.

Nice.

I started working on making wedges for the bottoms of the doors.

I started mocking up the driver's side when my dad's friend walked into the shop and we were discussing the design. I told him it wouldn't work as a single piece, and mocked it up to show him. Turns out, I was wrong. It totally works as one piece. I'll just need to sweep the leading edges of the extensions back just a little. So, Version 2.0. They'll be one piece.
