Rule #1, Using any race style shoulder harness REQUIRES use of a misnamed submarine belt, always. Rule #2, Any quality belt system, WITHOUT a quality and securely mounted seat, is almost useless.
FWIW
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Steve, are those what you have in the car? One of those would be great for the PS. I was thinking more along the lines of this for the driver's side. I've experienced a serious rollover in my Dad's sand rail and that 5pnt harness kept me alive. The seat is either going to the fixed back Corbeau or one of the ProCar seats.

No. I haven't used them.
I have driven a car with the XV seatbelts and those were fine. Those are very expensive. Those can be bought under different names, they are just rebadged "XV".
The seatbeltplus stuff seems to be the same if you get certain models. They get a lot for thier "Mopar" belt sets. Seems like there basic $68/ea setup with an shoulder extender that lowers the shoulder hook point.
I thought I had a link to another company that has those 3 point belts cheaper than seatbeltsplus? Can't find my link. Seems like a lot of places reselling the same belts.

I ordered a set of retractable belts from here. Just ordered two weeks ago and have not received them yet but the gentleman on the phone was very knowledgeable and kind. $280 I think was the total +or- a few bucks for front and rears for my 70 GTX

I have a question about installation for you guys who are using these. From the pictures of the retractable shoulder belts, it looks like you would end up with a twist in one end of the belt. Does the end without the mechanism go under the piece with the retracting mechanism or to a different attaching point? If it goes under the piece with the retractor, wouldn't it be twisted one half turn? Anyone got any pictures of these installed?
