Help for very tall guy who wants a gen 3 type 65 coupe

[Skuzzy]

I am just over 6'3" tall @ 210 pounds with a 36" inseam. In the default seats shipped with the kit I have about 3" of headroom and plenty of legroom. Foot space is a bit tight, side to side, with my size 12 shoes.

Thanks Skuzzy! Your information is very helpful! The fact that you are able to fit in using the default seats shipped with the kit and still have 3" of headroom and plenty of legroom is really encouraging. I am making a list of the numerous modifications and tweaks that I can do to give me that extra room. Also, for a 6 ft 8 guy I have relatively small feet wearing 13" shoes. Necessity is definitely the mother of invention and I think I will eventually find the right combination to make this a reality. If I am able to make it work then I do not have to worry about someone stealing it because no one else will be able to drive it LOL! My wife has been hoping that I would not find a solution and would settle for a more “practical” sports car. Eventually I will need to break the “bad news” to her!

Hello Skuzzy. I am 6'4" and just received the build a month ago. Do you mind sending a photo of how the seats are bolted directly to the floor. Glad im not the only tall guy driving a 65 Coupe.

I did not bolt them directly to the floor. I was just testing my fit to see how much room I had for a slider. I went with the low profile slider brackets from Breeze. Still have plenty of headroom. Enough that I am making a hard headliner for mounting the overhead console, and cover the defroster ducts I routed through the roof from the A/C unit behind the seats.

It is all apart, at the moment, so I can make some other modifications.
