Jason...I checked the photos of our yellow 68 car...bench seat..3 sets in the front seat...this car does not have the optional shoulder harness.

I think there should be 5 female buckles if you have the shoulder harness option.

You are correct Tom. I just was checking all my 68 nova pictures and found Tommy Turners low mile Gold 68 nova had the 5 female buckles for the shoulder seat belt option. Thanks again...

The wife will be happy! She will now have a spot next to me...LOL

I am getting ready to redo my interior panels for the L79. I bought the non-assembled door and rear panels. What has everyone used to hold the new panels to the old metal tops? From the factory they looked like the metal was crimped to the cardboard. I thought about using a rivet to hold the new panel to the old top frame. Anyone have any suggestions?

Jason, i don't own that gold Nova anymore. Zach Carter has that car now in Texas. He has really cleaned it up and made a sweet ride out of it. Like that one though, my old blue 68 also had the same seatbelt combination.

I new you sold that car tommy. It sure is a nice original 68...

Ok I tried installing my carpet today in the L79. The rear piece went great. But the front carpet piece that goes over the tunnel fits like crap. Anyone have any tips? I don't have a carpet steamer. Will a heat gun work. I was afraid of burning the carpet with the heat gun. I am actually thinking of ordering another carpet. This was a trim parts carpet which I thought was the preferred choice by everyone. I was so mad I had to walk away from it……

----Jason,,,This isnt the best time to put carpet in as its really good to sit the carpet outside in the sun. I dont really have an answer for you except that. I dont think I would use a heat gun. Sunlamp maybe???
----Secondly, I dont think Trim parts make thier own carpet anyway. They probaby source it from Auto Custom Carpet......Bill S

Thanks for the tips. I checked on the carpet last night I think I am going to be ok. I just needed to walk away. Sometimes when you come back to a problem it just goes so much better...

Windshield installed.... top window trim installed... lower trim is fighting me.(had to walk away) Lol!

Has anyone had any luck with the lower windshield trim outer clip. The set I bought aren't even close to my 1 original I have? Any tips? Am I missing something?
