[DeTomaso] To Drop or Not to Drop

[Mike Reilly]

Mike, just a thought but would your recently purchased Quickjack system still fit under the car with the dropped floor pans?  Perhaps another thing to double check before deciding?   Mike Reilly

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 . . .



Thanks, Mike Thomas
