    Curious about Type 65 Coupe

    Im about finished with my 3rd roadster build and now I’m interested in building a Type 65 Coupe. But I would like to see if I can fit in one. My main concern is getting in and out. Would love to meet up with someone willing to let my check one out. Im in SoCal. Thanks

    I have 3 of them here right now we are doing. I really don't see a problem with you fitting.

    I weigh 195 34x34 pants. 6"2" tall. 12 wide shoes.

    I fit in my 3G coupe well. It's sung! but comfortable. I have about 1600 miles on it. I cut a brace on the left footwell out to allow my foot off the clutch pedal. I also trimmed the clutch pedal narrower.
    I use the MT-82 transmission with custom machined shifter parts. it all feels pretty nice to me.

    Mike I think you will struggle quite a bit to be comfortable. perhaps build the new truck.
