Best options for Tall drivers

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses. Thinking the "If you don't ask you don't get" philosophy with manufacturers is worth a go to get something modified.

Twobjshelbys - my profile has me down for NSW, Australia and I thought I'd posted in the Australian forum - do I need to fill out something else for it to show?

Hi Globey, you might have to fill out the City and State boxes for it to show.

Your profile page has places for you to enter City and State, along with other information.

I'm 6'4" and have an Arntz that I imported from the US many years ago. I have had the floor dropped and the steering column raised and I am very comfortable, size 14 shoes and all.

I would suggest however that you try to find a local car as the exercise of bringing a car in is quite daunting. Get along to one of the Sydney club meetings and ask to try a few cars for size. Take your shoes off and don't be put off if the cockpit seems snug, because that's the way they are! Remember that dropping the floor makes a huge difference. Try a 94" wheelbase one if you can (90" is standard).

As far as the different makes go .... the older Qld made DRBs have surprising leg room and I believe the Victorian Kenmers do as well. If you have the funds and don't mind a bit of a wait then buying new is the painfree way to go. Have a look at the ICC site. Island Custom Cars in South Australia. Wil will make a car to suit YOU. Tailor made. Don't worry about "originality". These are all hot rods so go with what makes you happy. You'll see all sorts at a club gathering. Good luck!
