Dean, just curious - how tall are you? I'm 5'7" and concerned about reaching the pedals. I sat in Jshel1's HM1038 and was quite comfy. John's about my same height.

Also, if the new cars use the lowered footboxes, are the brake and clutch arms shorter, so the foot pad is closer to the floor?

Well, I'm almost 6'3! The racing seat affords the driver much more room than the traditional seat. You should be fine with the regular seat and some pedal adjustment. It is rare that a car can accommodate such a wide range of driver.

Anyway back to the show!!

I added the heat shield for the brake master cylinders.

I am working on the secret compartment under the floor to store my whiskey and my pistol.

Or maybe my registration and my insurance card.
