Can you use the factory pivot bolt covers up on the B pillar with these seat belts?

No, but the belts came with their own covers.

 

[Injectedcutty]

But are you going to share your modification with the rest of the class?

Sure, pretty involved process though so y'all might wanna grab a chair! Once they're painted, I'm gonna use some 2 sided 3M tape. If I'm feeling daring I might rivet them like factory.

Pics or it didn't happen

Certainly, once I paint them and mount them.

Went nextdoor to the circle track fab shop and utilized the bench vise and a hammer real quick. Now they match and already bolted back in.

Utilized the cereal box again to paint the seatbelt covers. Once they cure all the way (tomorrow) then I'll rivet them to the mounting plates.

Well, got the driver side upper sail panel trim on. Might take it back off as there is interference somewhere and the trim isn't sitting as close to the quarter window as I'd like. Tried the pass side and it's worse, so instead of throwing and breaking stuff I'm calling it a night. I like how it's looking though...

After some cussing, got the pass side upper sail panel mounted. Not sure if stuff got tweaked from doing the roof skin swap, but I don't recall these things being that hard to remove/install. I attempted to install the upper rear window trim and it's being stubborn enough that I scratched some black paint.
I started getting really pissed, so I stopped before I broke something!

You're smart to get away from it. It's looking great man!
