Im already looking for the seats from a gto like these didnt consider what a job it could be to to.put the belts in sure glad you are doing these videos
These are really great seats for this application and super comfortable. Yeah I had been thinking about the seat belts for some time but until I was in the junk yard looking at other cars I wasn't sure how I wanted to do this either. It seemed to come together nicely though. Thanks
Your plasma table makes fabrication much easier and quicker! I wish I had one years ago when I was building my race cars. Good work. I’m enjoying the videos!
Another great video Mark! Really enjoyed it. I haven’t started planning the belts and harnesses for the ‘49. I’m looking at solutions others guys have employed. Getting the engine and transmission mounted in the frame this week! It’s been a couple of decades since these things were all together. Thanks again.
@@travlite8496 I have the 220 model but played around with making portable electrodes with copper cable but the amperage drop was to much unfortunately.
Good evening Mark, I am new to your channel and have enjoyed watching your video's you approach your Fab work much the way I do and as tedious as the little details can be those are the things that seperate the hacks from the fabricators. I am going to pull the rear seat belts out of a Cobalt in a couple of days for my 65 Skylark GS. I am going to cut out the recessed boxes in the package tray to cut down on fab work. do you happen to know what bolt size the lap belt anchors are? Just want to make sure I have the right tools when I get there. Take care I'm looking forward to following your work. Brett
@@byoung8528 Thanks Brett. Seems like there are more hacks out there than ever, even the so called pros. On the G5 I used an 18mm socket and a T50 torx bit. They put locking compound on all the fasteners so make sure you have a breaker bar with you. The torx are a bear to break loose, you might want to take a spare T50 just in case you break one. I thought mine would break any moment. Good luck on your scavenger hunt. Let me know how it works out.
NICE! Catch a BIG ONE. It's time!
Thanks I did catch 3 German Browns the biggest was 16" which is pretty good for that lake. They were very tasty too.
Yo Mr Mark your good gone be untouchable. All these custom pieces I'm ready for it to be at the shows it's gonna be unmatched out there my friend 👍
Thanks for the encouragement. We are a ways away from car shows but I think it will do well. You just never know...

Mark you are getting pretty dang good at your fabrication work! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Doug, have you had any time for the truck lately? Weather has been great for body work.
It was a pleasure watching you fabricate Mark. Looks fantastic!
Thanks I really appreciate that. When it comes time to put Ruby all back together I hope it all works out like I want it too.

Thanks Ralph, yes it definitely was a good investment. When I get started on the frame it will be used a lot.
Very nice job Mark. I learn from every video you post. Thank you for your time.
Thanks it did come out pretty well and should work great. Not that I will ever ride in the back seat of Ruby but it is good to know anyways.
You may not have known how you would make this all work but you always seem to make it look easy and very well done.
Sometimes I just have to get started and figure it out as I go instead of having a perfect plan in place. Worked out pretty good this time, thanks
Another fine job Mark. Looking forward to learning some ideas for the front belt install.
Thanks, fronts are next week. I just need to get these jobs done so I can move on to getting the body prepped and sprayed with epoxy.

Thanks Robert, that is really exciting starting to put it back together. Make sure to send me pictures! Love the progress.
Nice work
Thank you, it all seemed to come together and work out great.
Nice job! Following along. 👍
Thanks, it is coming along nicely. I am anxious to get all these jobs done get Ruby into epoxy. Stay tuned
You can get bigger spot weld electrodes for that spot welder.
Thanks
I have seen them. Do you know if there is enough amperage with longer electrodes? This one is about at its max as built.
@@FoothillPaintandFabrication I really don't know I just seen them on another channel in the past they make a 120 and a 220v this i know.
