I have a 1966 valiant with lap belts and I want to convert it to shoulder belts. Is there a common solution like retrofitting belts from a different car or a kit somebody makes?

I put a set in my '70 Dart. I got them from: http://www.seatbeltpros.com/
Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

What do you do for an attachment point for the shoulder strap and deal with the stock folding seats? Hate to start welding on a finished car.

MadMatt,
I see there are several choices available. Do you remember specifically which ones you purchased? I'd like to put a set in my '71 Dart GT.
Although not from this same company, I bought a set like this http://gotbelts.com/loshsa.html to put in my 71 Challenger. The 8" drop down on the shoulder strap keeps it from rubbing your neck. I also put a set in a 64 Belvedere wagon that was never equipped with shoulder belts. I made my own mount for the shoulder belt in the wagon, and it's easy to do. You just have to have a little bit of McGyver instinct.
