I had the same concern when designing my ERA. But remember that both ERAs and Kirkhams are esentially "hand-made" cars. When I flew up to have Doug at ERA measure me (including my Fred Flintstone-like feet), he was able to whip up some mods so that I fit perfectly in the car (and I'm 6'4"). I have no doubt that if you are 6'5" or below the Kirkhams will be able to fit you well. But do yourself a favor and fly up there and get measured while you talk with them. Everybody does not have their height in the same places, and that's important when having your car fitted to you.
