[DeTomaso] To Drop or Not to Drop

[Mike & Elizabeth]

OK, the forum has been pretty quiet lately so I'll throw this one out there.

 

Doug Braun and I are both having our cars restored at the same time by the
same guy.  Doug has done a dropped floor pan for more clearance when he has
a helmet on but so far I'm not planning to do a drop.  Since my car is in
bare metal right now and about to go on the rotisserie for all of the other
metal work, I'm wondering if I should reconsider while I have the
opportunity.  Headroom for me has always been just 'adequate' and I do have
the seat springs removed from the bottom cushion of my C4 seats so I'm
basically sitting on the floor.  I don't plan to track or autocross the car
so don't need helmet clearance but it would be nice to be able to consider a
seat upgrade sometime in the future if the C4's get old.

 

Thoughts . . .
