I'm 7'2" 372 lbs. with 36 in. waiste and a unibrow :unibrow: I basically had to do away with the front seat on my 68. I now drive from the back seat. In order to see, I drive like Ace Ventura. Is all good!

p.s. my project is currently on hold because of my therapy fees. (I
still have issues from my childhood, the kids called me sasquatch! :willy: )

5 Foot 11 and 210 lbs. My driver's seat is bolted directly to my roll cage. No adjustment and no hinging. Column location has also been optimized. Fits me great. Also my short/tall friends never ask if they can "take my car for a spin"

I am 5'10" 210lbs and my front seat is fully adjustable, LOL.

Hey Jim, didn't we have this discussion a while ago?

I am 6'6" and weigh 250. I was also very uncomfortable in the stock seats.

I changed mine to seats from an Audi TT, they have much more travel so I can have them back as far as they hit the rearseat, but they can also go forward more than the stockseats so my petite wife can drive it, she's only 5'3" at 130.

You know what ? You may be right.

When you get old, your memory is the second thing to go.

I'm 6'3" 230 and the stock seats were very uncomfortable. Knees all in the dash...ouch! Now with Corbeau seats it makes it alot more comfortable. I dont know how you guys 6'6" and bigger can have the head room, cause my head touches if I try to sit semi upright.

Al...at 7'2" 372lbs. You have a NBA career waiting. I can see it now. Al vs Shaq or maybe NFL or both. You would then have plenty of $$$ for your car's. :thumbsup:

I guess it depends on if your long torso'd or short torso'd. I'm 6'2" with a long torso (which means the bulk of my height is above my waist). This is sometimes referred to as a Mesomorph bodytype. When I drove my car, I remember having to slouch down in the seat so that my head didn't touch the ceiling (isn't that pathetic? I have to try and recollect what it was like driving my car because it's been over 11 years now).

I guess if you have a perfect balance of height below and above your waist, you fit in there perfect. But I do remember that even though I had to slouch down in the seat, I was still comfortable.
