The CR address this problem almost 30 years ago by expanding the car. Lowering the foot box and ramping the floor for the seat. The problem with that is (it is no longer a cobra clone.) A lot of people take offence with that. Me I don't care. I would rather have a car that works better and can be driven every day. Not something that makes me feel like I am driving a roller skate with a big engine. For me when you raise just cowl the car looks blocky. I have built a lot of cars for Big and tall and for the very small. moor than any one else, and I can tell you no one sits the same in a given car. What works for one guy will not be right for the next. These cars are like shoos. So every car we do is built to the guy that owns it. Build your car to fit you. Barrys Frame looks good.
