I am glad to see someone build up a '58 Ford, and do such a beautiful, clean model of one! Love the detail work, right down to the racing harness hardware. I give it an 11.

I don't know where he got his, but I have bought them from Hobby Design, The Model Car Garage, Eduard, and Detail Master.

That is one super-looking tandem! I didn't know they made a '58 sedan (or did you add the pillar?)  A+++++ !

Thanks for the comments........the seat belts are Detail Master.....body was a resin with the hood & trunk molded in place, it was a hardtop, I slightly modified the "C" post & added the "B" post, also made the hood ornament which along with the bumpers are air brushed with Molotow chrome

Beautiful work Mark! The entire package is astounding... I saw this car run in Nashville several times.
