[DeTomaso] Anyone of 6ft 4 in a Pantera ?

[marshallgsmith]

Hey all, I am 6' one inch and I fit very comfortably in the original 1971 seats. What I 'did' do and which helped me greatly fitting in the car  was to remove all the spacers from the back of the seat which helps give you the most headroom. I also added extra spacers to the front of the seat which gives the seat a backward rake and gives much better support. That is a 1000% better than sitting in those seats where the bottom was parallel with the floor board.  Have you ever seen a good driving or racing seat where the bottom was flat and not raked backwards? Certainly not me! Although a little hard, I love the original seats now both in looks 'and' support.MarshallSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

   Hey all,

    I am 6' one inch and I fit very comfortably in the original 1971
   seats. What I 'did' do and which helped me greatly fitting in the car
   was to remove all the spacers from the back of the seat which helps
   give you the most headroom. I also added extra spacers to the front of
   the seat which gives the seat a backward rake and gives much better
   support. That is a 1000% better than sitting in those seats where the
   bottom was parallel with the floor board.

    Have you ever seen a good driving or racing seat where the bottom was
   flat and not raked backwards? Certainly not me!

    Although a little hard, I love the original seats now both in looks
   'and' support.

   Patrick,
   I'm 6'2" and I almost fit in the 71 seat without any bottom padding, in
   a 72 or later seat, my head is brushing the headliner continuously. So
   I would say YES.
