General Discussion / Brighter Lights

« on: September 25, 2011, 02:51:42 AM »

I have a 67 camaro. I was doing some night driving and the lights are just to dim. There obviously arent any high beams and the lights I currently have just are not going to cut it. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions to get brighter lights. HIDs or LEDs or whatever you have as suggestions??

Ok so I have a manual 4 speed 67 camaro. I currently have stock leather seats and a steering column that isnt adjustable. When I drive and let the clutch out I have to bend my knees around the steering wheel. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?? Im looking at gettin a new seat? adjust seat brackets?? new steering column?? What do you guys think??

General Discussion / New Seats for 67

« on: September 09, 2011, 03:42:31 AM »

My 67 camaro has the standard leather seat with no headrest. I want to add a harness that has three points but requires a headrest. Does anyone have a suggestion for new seats. I want to upgrade the seats so they are nicer. No interest in staying originally matching. I was thinking. 2011 camaro seats but i dont know where to find them or their cost. Looking for something leather and comfortable. Not planning on replacing back seat which is a leather bench. current seats are black. Thanks for suggestions

Its a modified. I dont want it to look fake but im not trying to be perfectly matching. I have a modern head unit and sound system in it. The goal is to make it practical while trying to remain old looking but not necesarrily official.

What i was thinking is since it has a chrome mirror now, any chrome mirror would keep the look no matter what car it came from.

Suggestions?

General Discussion / Side Mirrors

« on: September 02, 2011, 07:33:48 PM »

My 67 camaro only has driver side mirrors. I want to add a second one but was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a larger mirror. The small 67 circlular ones are just so tiny. I was thinking of 68-69 side mirrors because they are rectangular but dont look that much larger. I am willing to put any mirror from any car on as long as they are all chrome looking so they look some what like they fit. The larger the better. Thanks

Yea it seems like unless I add a role cage the seat belt isnt going to make that much of a difference. Obviously I need more then a lap belt but that could just mean a 3 point. I still think I would like a four point for some extra safety but I just don't know if its possible without the role cage. Anyone know if this is possible??? Suggestions??

And after some research it seems like corbeau would have the best harnesses.

The only issue with a 3 point is there aren't any airbags. So I was thinking a four would be safer to compensate for the missing airbags? Suggestions??

« on: August 12, 2011, 09:44:22 PM »

So I am wondering if there is any way to put 4 or 5 point seat belts in a 67 camaro without a role cage. From what I have researched putting them down to the floor is unsafe?? Are there 4 point seat belts that will work??  Since there aren't any airbags I need to find a way to make the car safer. Any Suggestions??
