great example Joe. as long as they can clear that new box you made go with it. if not, I would make the new box work with the seat belts. your safety is far more important than being heard.

Ok so after further review i have fixed the problem while keeping the speaker box and keeping everything looking good like it should. here are some updated pics.

 

 
Bolted down to the old seat belt bolts so they are nice and strong

 

 
The slot will soon be cleaned up with some metal outline to protect the wood and the seat belt

 
The finished look !!!

 
Also cut away at the old panel and that area is where the new optima dry cell battery will go when i do the battery relocation.

better, but is that wood, that the box is made of strong enough? so that in an accident it wouldnt crush and defaultly loosten up the harnesses a bit.. like would the speakerbox slide forward in an accident? loostening the belts??

i dunno maybe, it is, but safety comes first!!!

the belts are tight down the the bolt that they are bolted down to ... when i tighten the belts they are tight because of the belt .. the wood is strong and wont crush and the box is in place tightly because of the roll bars and weight. if slammed on the brakes to test the box and it does not move.

the box does its job by hold the seatbelts back. i used very strong oak planks for that job i will also be putting metal around those slots to improve looks and functionality

Here is an update on the battery move so far... been working kind of slow, working little bit each day.
I removed entire ground wire going from battery to engine and chassis and also the power wire going from battery to starter and main fuse.

 
Wire going from distribution block to fuse.
 
Wire going from Distribution box to starter motor
 
Distribution box
 
The wires all tired up together ready to be covered with electrical tape to clean it all up
 
The main power wire in the wire conduit, running along the frame rail.
 
Hole where the wire comes through the floor and also the battery box mounted securely to the floor.

not bad....i have had a cover sitting in the garage for months and i am just too lazy to polish it up...then the 94 came into my life and i been tackling that conversion...guess i am saving the engine for last..

keep up the good work! I hope to have another car in Jan so i can part the capri to do some things..its a DD so hard as hell to do anything intensive.

josh i can see why you painted your dash while still in the car....

i took the one out of the 94 today..there has to be an easier way...the frame and everything came out with it. i am now rethinking taking mine out and just paint it while its still in the car.
