Tall man's fuel cell October 23 2008 at 4:30 PM


Hi all, I'm just beginning a resto on my 1st x. I'm 6'3 and have a difficult time driving my old man's 74. His suggestion was to fabricate new (and very low profile) seats, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to relocate the rear cabin wall 3-4 inches rearward and run a fuel cell in the (front) boot. Any thoughts? Also, will post pics soon
