I need to have the Deluxe steering wheel and Nugget Gold seatbelts refurbished.
Recommendations needed.

Python does good work but be cautious! After a 1.5 year ordeal dealing with Stewart, it took 3 attempts to get the correct webbing on my belts and in the end they still were not what we both agreed on using. Again the final product is good, but he has other issue going on that may lead to you not getting what you asked for or not getting your belts in the agreed time. I think he's a one man show. Took repeated emails and phone calls before I would get a response from him.

I bought a set restored by Python restorations for my Mustang from a member on this site and they look great. I also had Stewart restore a 72 Camaro seatbelts. He did an awesome job. The only issue was that it took at least couple of months for him to finish it. He was fairly responsive to my calls. I would say phone him than email him.

Good Luck!!!

I think Python suffers the same issues as StangersSite for Power Steering items.

A guy loves the cars/work, finds a niche, and does fantastic work. Word gets out and the backlog grows.... then the dilemma... keep the quality up, and costs down by staying a small shop, or expand as then risk the issues of hiring millennials to do 60's style work... most want to start at 6 figures, do "consulting" and techie stuff (make an app) not learn to chrome plate, do hand work, or machine to the standard of the 60s mass production! (which sadly, is gone... planned obsolescence and people buying on lowest price has taken care of that! :eek:)

I think both took the "I'll do it" route and then suffer the results of the fact that things take time and a one man business is hard to run... have not used either in a couple years, but always had good results with both.

It will be sad day when more and more shops like theirs go away...
