      You can put whatever seat you want in that car and make brackets to sit you wherever you want.

      I'm 6'1" as well, put 2007 Nissan Maxima seats in my 4 door 64 chevelle. Set them back and low enough to where I'm very comfortable driving it and can use a helmet as well as my 4'10" wife can run the electric adjustment all the way forward and up so she can drive comfortably. If you like the procar seats you might can find a metal fabricator to modify the seat bracket to set it down more for you, just look to see if there's room between the seat bottom and the floor of the car. I've also seen people go as far as modifying the floorpan to fit seats more comfortably.. With the stock bench seat slid all the way backward the bottom frame would have sat on top of the shifter, reason I went to the junkyard for bucket seats, cost $125 and a little time cutting and welding brackets to fit the 64's floor pan.



      I'm just about even w/ the B pillar, before the stock bench was at the B pillar, knees were around the steering wheel, felt like I was trying to drive a gocart.. I can stretch my legs pretty far out now, have to stretch to hit the highbeam foot switch with my big toe.

      Man, great looking ride and I appreciate the feedback!

      I’ll have to find a relatively easy temp solution to be able to drive the car home haha.
