I have also put the seat on the fllor with its back against the read of the seating area. This gave me a lot more room.

Hi Scott - thanks for adding your thoughts. Have you moved any pedals forward, or are they all hard up against the firewall at full travel? Well, hopefully your brake pedal doesn't have that much travel, but you know what I mean...!

Did you modify the dash for more knee room?

Not that I want to get too personal, but are you on the high or low side of 220lb? Size 12 shoe?

Can you drive the car with shoes on, or do they span across two pedals?

Did you modify the seat or the rear panel at all, or just mount the factory seat on the floor?

How close are your headers to your footbox (ie: could you notch the footbox slightly for extra pedal travel as Arthur suggested?)

OK - I'll leave you alone now You might notice that I'm interested in understanding what you've done, and what challenges you faced in getting the car to the point that you could drive it.

Thanks for your time,

Craig
