In our cars, we re-designed the seat boxes and move them several inches back. The shifter is also pushed back so that it's in a more natural position. We use modern seats, such as the Recaros i posted, so the driver has ample support. We cut out the factory dash and replace it with a 2-piece fiberglass dash, and scoot it back several inches as well. This allows us as much room as needed to fit modern electronics behind the dash, as well as extend the cabin so it looks more modern.
In doing so, we have to redesign the door panels as well.
But the end result is a car with plenty of seat support, extra leg room, he can now fully sit back in his seat and shift comfortably from his heated/cooled leather seats. Everything is easy to reach. We also try our best to make sure nothing hangs below the rockers so the customer doesn't have to worry about scrapping.
There's a lot of really cool custom cars out there. And a lot of them are simply a pain in the ass to own and drive.
