floor pan versus seat question.

needing, rather wanting to to cut a bit out of the floor pan where it ramps up at the back..

question being.. is there anything under there? so it's just flat then straight up to the shelf instead of having the 45 degree..

Gas tank. It extends quite a bit under the cab, and it can go boom.

Re: floor pan versus seat question.

Figured that.. well thought it stopped at the 90 there... guess i gotta cut it open just to see how much room i can squeeze out.. every inch counts..


And for the record.. subaru seats are PITA too fit into a chevy.. choose wisely. Haha

Re: floor pan versus seat question.

Id do that if i could.. dont really wanna move it around till the suspension is all back on... but the cabin just seems cramped to me, i dunno if its cuz im fat or tall or both just doesnt fit.. or that im used to cars...

I dont really like to be on top of the wheel.. and things like my knee hitting the wheel when using the clutch kinda annoying.... ive been in roomier sprint cars than this.

How tall are you? I ask because I am 6'4" and I don't hit my knee on the wheel while clutching.
