I have not had my headliner or sail panels out in a while. I am wondering if there is a mounting point for an over the shoulder belt in the rear? I have a 71 Challenger and I would love to make minimal mods to fir the entire family (2 small children) rather than the lap belts.

Kids are too big for the child seats that we used to strap in (which was a pain in itself)

There is not going to be anything factory there, but you may be able to add them. I suggest you pickup a set of aftermarket 3 point belts from a street rod shop and install them. You should be able to anchor the top mount into any double panel by adding a 1/8" steel plate with a nut welded onto it between the two panels. Don't mount it too high, the best location is slightly behind the passengers shoulder, just over shoulder height. Gene

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
