Okay, I'm a complete newb to the forum and currently just making plans for the future here. Cars have always been something of a passion, (genetic defect, that's my Dad's tudor as an avatar), but haven't had the chance to build one myself.

That being said, I've always had a passion for fenderless coupes and roadsters, but have a big problem, or should I say, tall problem. I'm around six and a half feet tall, with a 36" inseam. Am I even going to be able to fit in one? I figure the limiting factors are A. Firewall recessing based on V-8 power, B. Cockpit length, a custom interior won't be a problem but the actual pedal to back wall distance is ultimately the final factor.

These are part of the reason my dad built the tudor. Well, that and the fact that he managed to score a complete chassis with IFS, Jag IRS and an already chopped, rusty but solid original steel body for substantially less than 5 large. Complete with a brand new TH350 and a tired old 350 mounted in the frame. Someone lost interest in the project...

Back to my questions; Without having one in front of me to check fit on, the roadster and 3 window seem to be pretty close in actual cockpit length. The five window intrigues me because it looks like could lose a package shelf and pick up some leg room. Any thoughts?
