So I'm not planning to race the car I'm working on, but was thinking about the seatbelts. Would it make any sense to put 5-pt belts in it to increase safety? Would it help to make up for lack of air bags? Does it even make sense without a roll cage?

I would consider Shroth 4-pts. Other than that, inertia reels.
I have a '70 with OEM belts. Ugh. Like and hate em at the same time. My '76 had inertia reels for street and 5pts for the track. That was much better. As metnioned, looking back to back up, or reach across and open the passenger door or window etc is a pita with tightly worn fixed belts. |
