Ricklove,

I appreciate the feedback. It took the guy a couple of months to get the interior done, and I just got it home last Friday night at 8:00 pm, and car show was Saturday.

I may eventually get some seat belts that match better but for now I am just happy that they are serving their purpose.

Kevin

I understand completely!!! Picked mine up a few weeks ago after it had been in the shop for 4 weeks. Changed from a blue/gray cloth pattern (circa 1991) to a much nicer graphite w/red inserts ultra-leather and red carpet. Quite a change and looks great!! Realized on week 2 1/5 that the older gray colored seat belts would not go with the new colors. Ordered 4 seat belts from http://www.seatbeltsplus.com/ for less than $100 shipped (2 @ 60" lengths and 2 at 66" special order). Very pleased with the belts and the price!! PS: I LOVE the '55 & '56 Fords and yours is a beautiful car.

Thanks for the website Ricklove. I found some turquoise ones on a site called Wesco Performance today that look pretty nice.

Hey Dave, how you doing?

Well, I need to ask my interior guy because I am not sure. What I can tell you is that he tried to match it as close the peacock blue as he could.

Wow beautiful, Why can't auto makers make real cars like this anymore? I sometimes think if I see one more new car with a gray leather/cloth interior I'm going to spit up.

Cars have no character anymore, and when I was a kid, I could tell you what every car was. I don't know what half of them are these days.

Looks beautiful Moonshine! I really like the Peacock Blue. My 56 is the Diamond blue. The Peacock is sharper in my opinion.

Hey 56 Mercer!

Sorry for the delayed response. I used a guy in Monett. Leonard Erskin.

I ordered some new seat belts today that will match the interior color and will have the chrome lift buckle.

Should look good! As mentioned earlier, the guy who did my interior just re installed the old ones until I can get them changed out.
