    I'm just over 4' tall, 5'9" to be exact. I was thinking a 4" chop would look good but you're right, I want it drivable.
    I was looking at the latches from Speedway wondering if they're any good or should I use my bearclaws. That would mean figuring out an inside handle as well. I like the idea of using the ones from Speedway just for ease of installation.

    Thanks,
    Sean

    First you say you are 4' tall, that's 48 inches, then you say you are 5'9" that;s 69 inches, A difference of 21 inches. I think I am confused. Must be the late hour.

    If your car has a floor and if you know what seats you plan to use, put them in the car (temporarily) get in, sit down and see how every thing looks and feels. Then go with your gut instinct. After all only you can decide what you will be happy with.

    Not sure what door latches you are referring to.

    sgo i shopped and liked the 3 inch chop also on the sedan. Seems to fit nicely and looks very stock and sharp and that point . Here is a pic of me standing beside it im 6 ft so as to get a perspective of it in size . My grandson is just shy of 4 ft LOL alot .
