Hey Mikey!! I hope all is well.. ( I tried to call the 914 rubber line but can't get through... mssg says number not available from our area... Do you have an international number)


My wife and I were driving the highway last week. Three folks did a left hand in front of us... we were going about 55 mph. After the second person turned to close for comfort... I was ready to slam on the brakes... Then a third guy turns left in front of us in a black dodge ram!! I slam on the brakes... thankful I had PMB calipers!!
It was close... If I had been going any faster... we would not be chatting about it here.

I figure it is time to replace the 47 yr old seatbelts!!!
Anyhow.
I need a few things
Seatbelts for a 1974
and Fiberglass bumper tops ( does the rear have a set up for the license plate light? if it does can you send me the light fixture too)
and a couple of other things too, new seat covers and a rear back pad cover.

Well, you should have been able to reach us. Was it the 855-914-GUYS (4897) number?

The seat belts we have not done as of yet. It would be possible, but if other acceptable solutions are available, I'd go that way. As far as cost goes, liability may be what's keeping the costs up.

I'd be happy to look into this if there is a need.
However on the fiberglass bumper tops we posted up a GB some time back, and are actually to the point we will be able to start producing in quantity. The costs for material have went up some, but shouldn't be too bad. I'll post up the ones I laid up this week a little late this weekend.

Thanks for the reply!
Yes that is the number I dialed, a recording says the number is not available in this area. I am calling from BC. I thought it was kind of weird.

I guess I will search for some hardware that is not as rough as mine... and reweb them.

Sorry, I missed the BC part. Yes The international toll free cost just to have the line is several hundred a month. just didn't pencil out. The international number is 1-503-352-9434
