To All.
I'm 6'-3" so have the same problem, just a little bit easier for me! Terry
Tanner is restoring my car and he will be removing the seating tracks that
allow for forward and back movement of the seat. Terry tells me that I will
gain about two inches since the seat will be sitting lower...effective fixed
into position...I will also gain another 1.5" in legroom.
Since I will be the only one driving the car, it is not a serious issue for
me. We will however, be saving all of the hardware should I ever wish to
reverse course...
Let us know what you end up doing...it may be something that many folks will
consider.
Thanks and good luck!
Kevin
