U're in Chicago. Should be plenty of 'speed shops' (younger set building drifters, rats, ghetto crusisers etc) that would be more than happy to install seat belts and do some custom fab work such as AC and seat position changes. Mite have to go a little inner city or rural which ever is closest for such providers. Trying to get anyone out in the lilly white, mall-rat mortgage city 'burbs to do anything out of the ordinary is a contradiction of that environment.
Dealing with run of the mill common garden vareity auto service shops is almost impossible. They strictly want to R&R parts that they can buy across the street from discount auto parts stores. Basically they just place a round peg in a round hole and square peg in a square hole.

I lived in a Detroit suburb for 30 years. Nearly all of my escapdes with cars and motysickles were border line inner city, VERY rural or industrial communities. All of them at least a 10 mile drive from my residence at the time.
