Hi Alex,
Lowering the floor is not easy - the exhaust goes richt under your seat!.
Best is to have the seat frame made lower (takes clever welding) and have
the wooden spacers removed from under the seat rails.
Also removing a part of the seat foam might help, but beware of getting back
pain of that.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Hans

Hey Group,
I'm starting the interior rehab of my project car ( '76 B roadster )and I'm
thinking of some modifications so I can be more comfortable. First off I'm
a big guy (6' 7" 260lbs ). I had a BGT in the 70's that I had no problem
with. The big difference is, of course, the windscreen on the roadster is
not as high as the one on the GT so if drive the roadster with the seat back
all the way back my head is still in the wind. So.....
One thing I was thinking of was a modification to the seat frame so it will
angle back more. An other idea that a nutty friend with a MIG setup had was
to lower the floor!
Are there any ideas or experiences out there that might be applicable?
Thank you much!
