OK, I know this might not be the right place but it seems you all have some widely varied skillsets and knowledge:

 

OK, I'm trying to install some new "retro style" seatbelts into my '74 Nova.  To make a long story short, I'd like to have two brackets constructed, as the ones that come the replacement kit are not appropriately sized for the hardware in the car.  Metal work being out of my skillset I am looking for a metal shop/welding shop that could construct the parts for me.  They don't have to really look nice, just be sturdily made and fit for the application I want them for.

When I was a kid in CT I'd have known where to get this done, there was a place that welded in a floor panel on my '76 Volare that I was driving as a teenager, and there were a few shops like it as well around the area I lived in.  I have no idea around here - plus it's 20 years later and I don't bet many places can do this and make money anymore.

I'm totally guessing but I'd bet it would cost 20 or 30 bucks TOPS in metal, and then an hour or two for someone to cut the metal to the size I need, drill two holes, and weld a threaded bolt haft to the plate.  I could be way off base, no idea.  I just know what I need for this seatbelt replacement project.

Anyone know a garage or welding shop or metal shop that might be able to do this?  Barring that, is anyone on the list skilled enough/has the tools to do this?
