Default Seat Belt

How do I remove the stock seatbelts out of a 79 Corvette? Where can I find some stock replacements?

Get your self an AIM (Assembly instruction manual) for your 79. All of the major vendors carry them. There are pictures and instructions for how your car was assembled. Paragon, Ecklers, and most of the other major vendors have replacement belts (NOS are expensive). Nearly as expensive, is Snake-Oyl products, a firm that will completely recondition your originals.

Doug,
Depending on what yours are like now- others have suggested using newed F-Body type rear seat belts as a MUCH cheaper alternative.
