You might go to the Wesco sitehttp://wescoperformance.stores.yahoo.net/nonresebe.html and check out some of their shoulder belt installation instructions. The Patrician is not too bad for a shoulder belt because of the pillar right behind the front seat. IIRC, HA52 had some photos in his project blog of the belt install he recently did on his 52 sedan. That would be very similar to what would be needed in the Patrician.

The 400 is more difficult because there is nothing to support the shoulder harness except the metal under the rear window. The roof is way too thin and virtually unsupported the entire length. Wesco has some suggestions on possibilities for HTs but I finally decided not to use shoulder belts in mine because it would have meant holes in places without much working room or worse, holes in metal trim.
