Pretty common install for service stations back in the 60's. Holes were drilled through the floorpan for the install. I can check the assembly manual to see if there are any identifying marks or dimples indicating a drilling location. Seatbelts were not required until '68 I believe, so all cars prior have been grandfathered. However, if you're pulled over in a car older than '68 that has seat belts, you must be wearing them. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>California law does not allow people under 16 to ride without a seatbelt, (regardless of the age of the vehicle) so my Galaxie sits most of the time now (2 kids, don't want to drill) I may change my mind however.....would love to take the whole family out for once!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=Biggalaxie@aol.com href="mailto:Biggalaxie@aol.com">Biggalaxie@aol.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=galaxie@lists.twistedpair.ca href="mailto:galaxie@lists.twistedpair.ca">galaxie@lists.twistedpair.ca</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, August 29, 2008 6:39 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: [GALAXIE] seatbelts in a 64 galaxie</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <DIV><A href="http://www.wescoperformance.com/lap-belts-install.html">http://www.wescoperformance.com/lap-belts-install.html</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 8/29/2008 9:35:39 P.M.
