Beings that I couldn't find just the inner front bucket seat belts by themselves, I just caved and ordered a set of black 3 pt front bucket seat belts from Morris Concepts. Buy once, cry once!

I just ordered a set of black bucket seat belts from them on their website. It came to $400 shipped. Our discount basically covers the shipping costs.

How do we get the discount? Do we just give them our username on this forum?

Thank you Mark for your generosity!

I already talked with Joe and we both agree that Invision not having a phone number and immediate tech support is a huge negative for forum hosting issues, and the stress of not knowing how long the forums would be offline doesn't help anybody out much. The main problem that I see with forum hosting software in today's world, is that most of them are corporate based and ran - i.e., Invision, Internet Brands, etc., and they seem to lack having immediate tech support to resolve forum issues in a timely manner. The forum software that I've built other forums on is Vbulletin a "php" based software, which is a robust forum platform with lots of nice features. The main thing that I like about it, is that it's hosted on GoDaddy just like FGMCC is, but I can call GoDaddy directly and have them look for any hosting issues with the forums or the website since it's all hosted with them. This means that we manage the website and the forum hosting ourselves within our GoDaddy hosting platform, which means if anything does arise, we can resolve the issue as soon as humanly possible ourselves. If I do have a question about adding an addon needed, I just login to the vbulletin site/forums and look for the information needed. XenForo is another forum platform which is php based as well, that seems to be a good one too, with lots of features and options in its software suite, but at much higher costs for the added features and functionality that we might want/need. I'm texting Joe with more data to help us gauge which direction we want to go, to ensure that our forum community is up to date, more robust, has all the features and functionality we all want, without driving up membership dues cost.

Do the standard front seat belts have the automatic retractor or is that only for the deluxe seat belts? Mine has the automatic retractor for the outsides of the front seats just inside the doors. With as many members we have here who probably have first gen Monte parts cars, that they don't have a set of the inner receivers for bucket seats.

I would get them, but I cannot afford to pay that much for a set of seat belts right now.

Is this style considered the standard or deluxe seat belt? I'm assuming that only the deluxe style would have the vinyl covered inner female receptacle side of the seat belts.

In today's world, cork gaskets are obsolete. Decades ago, they were the only option to seal up mechanical parts. But with newer technology, rubber and silicone gaskets provide a much better seal, and are easier to install and in most cases reusable. On any engine build or for a reseal nowadays, I only use Fel Pro one piece oil pan gaskets and their silicone/rubber valve cover gaskets.

Well done Aaron! Looks like an awesome event.

Welcome to FGMCC!

Joe, you might ask GoDaddy to check the hosting Server resources - processor, memory, etc., to see if they are hitting 100% usage a lot. If they are that will cause website issues.
