NEED some help from you folks!
 
I have my car back on road after new body, new "Bat paint, and few upgrades on radiator, oil cooler, etc. The car is like new with the origianal color I anticipated from the build 5 years ago! Will post soon, and your honest comments will always be appreciated.
1. I am looking for new safety belts, so what options other than Simpson are recommended, quick release vs latch!
2. I also need to get a second set of wheels, PSE is done, that can take a soon purchase of GOODYEAR BILLBOARDS. Something close to PSE.
3. Last, is there a noted place to acquire the GY's and do the sizes represent the same as my current BFG T/As. 295/50 rear 235/60 front.

I plan on posting recent pics of my new and improved version of my origianl build......new body, "BAT " paint, and upgrades.
thanks.

You can get the tires here http://rogerkrausracing.com/pages/pricing.html. They are not sized the same as your BFG. They are old school, height and width.

You can pick up quality safety belts from places like Speedway Safety Belts - Speedway Motors, America's Oldest Speed Shop.

Are you looking for belts that are more original? Branda carries the Ray Brown belts. If you are going to track the car Id stick with a 5 point system. Summit carries a wide variety of belt systems.

Look into Avon tires?
 
Fred Z Fred BFG are dead and one of the poorest tires for a cobra. The billboards are correct in look on a cobra but, the down side is flat spots, out of round, high speed vibrations and other issues. Some of the guys here have gone to Avon tires and say they are as good a Billboards without the issues. Nitto mat be another tire to check into for the street. The 05 has a 200 wear and is DOT legal. Like any soft tire, they pick up a ton of street debrie. Multi coating of the refenders or adding spats will be needed if you want to save the new paint job. Rick L. ps as for seat belts, 5 point with a quick release and the correct mounting angles.
