    I'm 6'3" tall, and I positioned my seats in my '33 so that they go all the way back to the bulkhead between the cab and trunk which gives plenty of leg room. Head room is more of a concern, as well as seeing out without stooping over. I used Fiero buckets, as they sit only about 2.5" to 3" off the floor, maximizing my head room.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    I am in the same position as Roger. Same height and have the seats as far back as they can go in the 34 and will need to re-work the mounts of the seats to lower them to gain some headroom. The headliner is lower than my projection and I find it annoying to have my head brushing it.
