Mark,
Not a problem, as long as someone can benefit by what I've found.

The biggest problem is with the wasted space behind the seat. I found that sitting in a Cobra without any seat at all created quite alot of room, so the attention went into getting me into a seat that basically has me sitting on the floor and all the way back against the rear wall of the body. Nobody said it was real comfortable, but at least I'm in it. My seat is a racing type bucket seat with alot of padding on the sides, and only 1/4" on the back and the bottom.

I also cut out a small half-moon notch in the bottom of the dash where my legs cross under it for extra room. Most people don't even notice it. Also, a smaller steering wheel, a dropped footbox, and the pedals as far forward as possible. I had to shave the sides of all of the pedals for extra clearance because of the width of my feet. It's tight, but manageable.

Someone 6'6"-6'8" tall could easily fit into a car with just the seat mods alone, then make additional changes only if they were taller. I sat in an FFR once without a seat, and it was very similar to mine, so I would assume that most are the same.

Fortunately, I am not on the portly side, as this would cause other problems, although I do have a 40 " waist.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.
