Pretty sure if they weren't fitted originally, there is no need. It may depend on state laws though

It's your car and your life and all , but why the hell would you not want to run seat belts ????
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

I guess some people think that FB/EKs are not too safe to drive without seatbelts. Other people think that seatbelts are unneccesary, or detract from a vehicles authenticity.

Everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I grew up without belts. I did however get used to them over the last few decades. When I bought the FB, I tried it for a few months with no belts. The kids thought it was fun, but I couldn't stand it so I fitted some.

Each to their own I guess.

Cheers,
Harv
