I need to know what options I have concerning 3 point and 4 point seatbelt kits I need to know, because I don't want my brain on the dashboard.

I plan to install 3pts. in my '67 Coupe, I like this co's offerings since they offer a 3pt. retractable in my red with 60's style buckles that aren't plastic like a lot of others I've seen and they're affordable ~120pr. vs.>$200 for others I've see, especially those offered by Mustang parts suppliers. I'm going to have them add the 8" shoulder belt extensions to put the belt closer to my shoulder height and avoid neck rubbing.

Belts should not pull/be mounted below your shoulder height or you could suffer spine compression in an accident.

thanks for the input man, but what about 4 point's what are the pro's and con's to both 3 & 4 points.
To be safe I believe you'd have to properly install a rollbar to hook the 4pts. to. If you read that SFI article Mainyou'll see that mounting them to the floor behind your back will cause spine compression on impact as stated. Anything greater than a 5* downward mount is bad. I don't know how else you would mount a 4 point other than to a rollbar.

I don't know why but i feel like i can't trust a 3 point because I'm not sure if it would keep my brain off of the dash
has anyone ever found a seatbelt bracket kit for a 67 mustang i'll probably end up using a later model mustang

Any particular reasoning for this thought? In a 3pt. the top belt goes across your chest/over shoulder just as every new car belt does and it's inertial reel activated just as a 'new mustang' belt is. You could probably retrofit a foxbody belt, maybe the SN95's too? depends if they were mounted into the C pillar or externally bolted I would imagine.
