Tried to send this yesterday, but forgot to omit the trailer!

Adding figures together, the floor to steering wheel height varies from 12
1/4" on the '72 GT to 15 1/4" on the '67 roadster.  Has anybody been able to
increase the height found in the plastic dash car to that of the steel
dash??

Any advice is appreciated.
