Hello,
I finally convinced my wife that I need a Ford model A. I plan to drive it to work every day because I only live a few miles from work and the speed limit is between 25-45mph all the way. So I should be OK.....

I do have one major problem to overcome before I can make my model A dream happen...My wife is very concerned about safety and will not ride in the car until it has some serious seat belts...preferably 3 point seat belts for the front seat passengers and lap belts in the back. I have found some examples of 3 point seat belts installed in a Tudor, but not in a Fordor.
I planned to purchase a Fordor, but without being able to put proper seat belts into the car my wife will declare it unsafe.

So my question is....Has anyone tried to put proper 3 point seatbelts in the front seats of a Ford Model A Fordor without replacing the seat with a pair of bucket seats from a convertible that have the shoulder and lap belts integrated into the seat.
