Responded to you on FB. Congrats on finding the real source of good info on these cars. Yes. I'm 6'1" and I fit very comfortably, plenty of head room for a helmet. My seat is almost, but not quite, all the way back so there's some left to go. The seat cushions are 4-6" thick and of crap foam. You could have one built with 2" of good Temperfoam (or similar) and give yourself another 2-3" head clearance. You can also mod the backpad if you need more backward clearance. Find one locally, sit in it. They're roomier than you think. Glad I found the FB Group but figured this was the real source of info! Hoping to swing by the potential project car next week but didnt want to waste time if there was no "hope". Tips? Tricks? Mockery? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm stupid, but not stupid enough to mock someone as big as you! @sjhenry1075 is "Size Large" like you (and is also a great guy), and I believe he makes it work. He's in Bowie. There are a couple of other members here not too far from you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) Bowie!? Will have to reach out to him, thanks! I've done worse to fit in cars I really want to drive lol |
