My solution was to make a n aluminim bracket to support seat and support belts at the same time. Thanks for replys

That's the issue that prompted me to ditch the stock seats. The belts were held in position at the roll bar by a steel bar that kept the attachment points behind me, but the belts could still slip off my shoulders. I might have cut slots into the seats to feed the belts through but it didn't look like that would work on my seats (2nd gen Camaro). So I went to aftermarket seats with shoulder belt slots, and I'm much happier and more secure now.

And I did build that brace from the headrest to the roll bar, so it's a nice solid mount now.
