[DeTomaso] Lowered Floor Pans for more headroom

[B Hower]

3400 has lowered floor ... level and driver and passenger side ... I would think that sloping floor and tilting seat would restrict rear travel of seat adjustment ... 

Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

   I'm sure someone will post with more details or a reference, but my
  recollection is that you don't want to lower the entire floor but
  rather leave the forward portion as it is and angle the floor down as
  it goes rearward. You cut the floor on the sides and rear, bend it
  down, and weld in triangular pieces to support it that way. This lowers
  and tilts the seat bottom.  Too much and you'll hit on every speed bump
  you come across.

    Anyone recall a forum posting or article on lowering the floor pans.
