In my quest for rear belts I made a thread in the parts wanted section.

A member with only 1 post Tommy1867 sends me a message and says he has them and to email him.  I do and he sends me a picture that doesn't look right to me and "how much I got to offer for the belt". 

A quick google search brings up the picture he sent me from this post by Chris Pauluk....

Something smells fishy.

Yes, there have been several posts recently about members posting for parts wanted and then being contacted by a new member with only 1 post that claims to have the needed part.

This Tommy1867 just contacted me too asking "how much you got to offer". Anyone know this member?

I finally am getting around to some little details under the hood like hood to radiator support seal, attach the fender tag, add the coolant and engine emission stickers.

On that note is there a proper place where the stickers go?  I see the coolant stickers centered on the radiator support and sometimes off center to the right. 

I also see the engine sticker to the right of the fender tag on the flat, sometimes on the bend of the inner fender.

Curious if one location is truly correct or not

I have attached a picture for reference.

Installed by Humans....so I wouldn't say a few inches either way would be incorrect.

Correct.
All a general location.
My original one.

Sunday was maybe out last real nice day here in SE Michigan and went out for a cruise with my brother in law. There is this old gas station I have been wanting to take some photos at for a while.  Car is running pretty well now but the carb needs more fine tuning.  Anyway thought I would share a couple pictures as it's been a while

Very cool! 

That Vette looks nice too.  I love the C3s and want one to park next to my Cuda some day.

Wasn't sure if I would post this or not as what I am working on isn't for the car...but thought someone might find it helpful.

I had some aluminum I wanted to polish and decided to make another video to show the process I used.  I do have have some car projects lined up in the next few months....buts its really cold out there right now and they aren't urgent.

If you have ever thought about polishing metal or need something to pass the time over the next few days enjoy :bigthumb:

I was going to take the Mrs fir a ride this past week but quickly realized the passenger, female front seat belt is not cooperating.

Thought I would ask here if anyone has 1 extra female/receiver belt? 
Any help would be great.

Life has been pretty busy this summer and the car didn't get much attention.  Starting to work on it a bit and drive it again now....with that being said.  Thought I would post here as I really could use some help on the front seat belts I am having issues finding.

I have been talking with Bill Edwards who makes seat belts for months and thought that was going to work out but unfortunately that hasn't worked out yet.

I am looking for front buckles.  I only need the female portions black (2 for each front seat, lap & shoulder) for my car.  Don't need show quality, prefer a driver set.  But at this point I'm taking about whatever I can get!

Any help is greatly appreciated.
