    32 Roadster Seat

     



    Ii have a Down's 32 Roadster, 2" longer than stock I believe, and since I am 6'4' and need all the leg room that I can get, does anyone make a bench seat frame that will go under the rear lip or will I have to get a stock height frame and cut it down? can anyone advise me on this?
    Thanks

    I am same size as you my friend and I have a Show Me Rod and Custom frame and body (two inch stretch). I am using a Glide seat and it works great. You should not have any trouble. There on sale right now also.

    I use a bench seat from So-Cal Speed shop. Fixed- bolted direct to floor, fits under the body. I'm 6'1", stock length repro steel body.

    The middle bench seat from a '90s Mopar mini van will also fit very well, you make the riser, do any height and pitch you need.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I tried the mopar van seat. Didn't fit. The body sweeps in too much at the bottom in mine.
