With a custom built seat ... you should be OK ...
My seat is about 2 inches lower ... and 3 inches further back than original. It is built of foam.

The seat looks pretty much original ... but RED ... ... I do have a tilt van column to make long drives a little more comfortable.
We are building her a new ride ... started with a original 32 3W body ...
Here she is in it ... original seat frame in it also. I am changing the steering wheel from a original 40 Ford wheel to a smaller 14 inch wheel ... with the van tilt ... in the position I have it ... the large wheel is too close to the door and too close to her knees.

Here it is with the new repro 40 Ford wheel from LeCarra ... lots more room ...

Too bad you are not closer to the SouthLand ... I would let you drive my roadster and see how you fit ...
