Ok, please, I know these cars aren't as safe as today's cars so can we please refrain from stating the obvious?
So my '68 has the lap and shoulder belt, and I wonder if this could be any different from a modern car's (safety wise). A seat belt is a seat belt right? Modern shoulder belts have the retractor and ability to move before locking under quick force, but in my eyes that is just a mobility convenience - once it is locked it should function just like older model shoulder bets. Or am I wrong?
I ask, because I have considered putting in a 3 point modern belt system but then thought about it and started to see no gain (other than mobility convenience).
Also, I saw a post by Yellowbird (can't find that post again, and her private message box is full) explaining how the belt should be adjusted to be safe. The adjustment was that the shoulder belt should have enough room for the palm of your hand to fit between the belt and your chest - but I wasn't sure if it was with your hand/palm flat against your chest or perpendicular to your chest. Any ideas?
