Finally getting to it!!! 1970 Duster 340

Thought you all might like to see what 43 years of seat belt dirt looks like! I was amazed at how much grunge came off with a little elbow grease. Ended up scrubbing and soaking 3 times until the water was clear. Now it's time to remove the latch cover, strip them and repaint.

I was wondering how to tackle this job. My '70 has blue seatbelts, aside from the dirt they are in good condition. I will have to repaint the buckle portion because of chips.
Were the date tags on the belts damaged in any way? What kind of soap did you use.
Thankyou!
Your Duster 340 is gonna be nice!
