You must be shorter - I'm like at the roof on these things with the seat all the way down and back. A hat won't fit.

Yeah...it's difficult to fit into many vehicles. I can do the fox Tbird comfortably though and people have modified the seat tracks with little issue for more space. If I was heftier, I'd have some serious problems though - trucks are much more roomy.

vinnie  your cup holder is nicely executed  and im impressed at the impeccable condition of your console lid  you got it nos?

NOS lid? Cut it up? No way.I'd still have it in the box if it were NOS.It's an older lid that had sun cracking all over it,and a plastic,textured console lid cap I installed.Once it has some armor-all on it,it looks really nice.

Do you look like you do in your avatar when driving? That looks about right ;)

I just used vinyl over the shifter and armrest - it was simple and looks as good as anything else. I hate the creaking when I place any weight on the center console though - THAT is what I want to fix. I think the thing just needs to be beefed up to be made more rigid and thick.

heh... yeah, that pic is normal, but if I sit up straight with the seat all the way up or one notch back, (i usually slouch down a little) my head doeshiznit the roof...
One thing I love about our cars though is that my knees don't hit the dash at least! Don't even get me started on my sisters Miata...

Sorry vinnie should we move to "how tall are you">>> thread?:hick:
