    I agree with the above. With a chopped top the seat needs to be designed with visibility over the hood for a given driver. Comfort for the long haul is one consideration but visibility for a given height of the driver is also important. My Chrsyler-desgned minivan middle seat is quite comfortable and the right width for an early Ford body but the critical height has to do with being able to see traffic lights at an intersection with just a 2" chop as well as long range view on the highway. This compromise is critical for a chopped top and will be different for every driver unless you have a very fancy adjustable mechanism. Your seat (and the rest of the car) looks GREAT but is the visibility optimum near and far?
