fan shroud/seat belt holders

[Matt L.]

i need an original metal fan shroud for my 64. mine is damaged,cut and has been welded on a couple times,so it's not real pretty. functional but not pretty. i am not having any luck. could someone please point me in the right direction? i have already tried driveline with no luck.
also, my car has no seat belt holders. is that because it has power windows and the holder would interfer with the switches? i see it's offered for the 64 but not 63. does that have something to do with my car being an early 64 car being built in oct '63?
thank you all in advance. as always,i really appreciate all the help and advice.
take care,
matt
p.s. wish me luck. i just sent in for shipping info on my car.

These guys http://local.sanfrancisco.com/west+c...438p.home.html did have one listed on San Francisco Craigs List not too long ago, don't know if they still have it. I bought one from them last summer for $250 for my '64. Good luck.

I hope you won't need those snow tires for the swap meet in April !! I ordered sunny and 70 degrees ! Can't wait to see it.

They say that right now there is snow cover in every state except Florida. Guess where I live and who is driving and tinkering on his Vette outside all day long. Ya all come down for the winter meet. We promise good weather.

Hey Stu................. I'm thinking about coming down there and getting you, bringing you to my house and giving you a lesson on good old fashioned Ohio snow blowing. Then throwing you in a snow drift !!! Then we'll have a beer on the patio.

Tom;

I earned my way to paradise by shoveling that white stuff for 65 years (time off for tours in SEA) in Wisconsin and Illinois. I left Illinois in June of 04 and GAVE my snow blower to the Reliable Transport driver that carried my Vette to Florida (he was from Michogan [my spelling]).

I will admit it was a bit chilly here last night, but it's good to get it out of the way before the winter meet.

On the subject; has anyone ever adapted a seat belt holder to a 63. My wife rode with me in my car yesterday and complained about getting in and sitting on the buckle. She rarely rides with me in the Vette, but she was hungry and my 2000 Impala wouldn't start due to a "Pass-lock" (Security)problem (I hate that feature). I fixed that problem by changing to my still new second key fob.

Re: fan shroud/seat belt holders

tom, i'll see what i can do for the weather. me and the wife are going to scottsdale next week for barret jackson. i'll try to bottle up some warm weather for all of us!
stu, thats not very polite to rub in your nice weather. especially to us ohio folks. J/K and yes, my wife has sat on the buckles too. i just tell her that's all part of the experience of owning a classic.
