    I'm 6'5", it currently just has a folded up moving blanket for a seat, but I'm going to make some simple bomber style seats with a small riser and leather trimmed pads. Plenty of room to come up a bit and more than enough legroom with the floor dropped.

    Thanks Brent, mission accomplished, ha! It kept the big chunks out of my face, perfect!

    thanks mang,

    sure was!

    you too man, glad you guys came down!
     
  3. Great pictures! You should make a small second thread with details and photos of the seating arrangement, you are going to have loads of people who want to know, and I'm sure this will hit 20 pages soon enough.

    Andy, that car is spot on. I love it. When I sat in it and seen how much room was in it, I was totally amazed. It sounds great, and when you get the bugs worked out that thing is going to be a rocketship. Glad the ViseGrips done the trick and you were able to keep running...dont know who thought of that...haha. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Take Care

    Again, thanks guys, it's been a journey! The car is parked in my home garage and covered up, gonna give her a rest for a couple months... When I pull it out, I'm gonna fix the clutch pedal, cinch up the body/aluminum work a bit, and install a bigger/better radiator and fan shroud before it's ready for the street. Along with a host of other small things that need adjusted/fixed/dialed in/etc...

    I'm currently trying to decide whether I can afford to bring it to Detroit Autorama...

    Dustin, that was all you man! I was skeptical, but it worked!! (sorta, my foot still hurts!) haha! Great to see you too brother, and exciting news about FH induction!!!

    Thanks dudes!

    Love is all all you need!

    mlagusis, there's actually a lot of work in making that grille look good on there! It's narrowed, sectioned, reshaped, and lowered at the sides!

    Jeff, it's GRey... I think you mean GRey!

    I cant get over this car! Every time I saw a shot of it pop up on FB or IG I was stopped in my tracks! I was also wondering how the windscreen worked out. Oh and what was more fun...this or Bonneville?

    Well, TJ, my friend.... ol' buddy, ol pal... I sincerely wish you the best of luck in that endeavor. However, in light of recent events, I fear that you may just find yourself******** into the wind!

    yea....;)
