The owner is like 6' 4" so I don't think a chop was ever really an option.

Thats cool, I was wondering my dad has 48 Chevy truck and he chopped it 4" and I'm 6'4 and fit great we mounted the seats on floor, but each his own, still a good truck don't get me wrong

I emailed Eckert's today.

Hopefully there will be some updates posted on this and the LT-5 swap into a '63 Vette SWC build thread.

They do great work.

Would like to see the outcomes.

We are kinda at the same point with ours. Are you having any trouble with locating the pedals in the toe board area?Would you happen to have a pic looking through the back window down toward them? It seems a little cramped where ours is between the brake and the throttle. nice build you guys got going there!
