Mark,

I thought I needed extended footboxes because I'm 6'1" (but on the skinnier side tho) and I definitely do not need them. Steve actually took some pics of me in the car, and the leg area to show how comfortable it is. I can send them to you on Sunday when I get back home if you are interested.
This was also with the fixed seat location, which is further back and lower then the original cars, or similar replicas (I might be adding seat tracks so my wife can drive it but actually I think it will work with the fixed location.

Rodknock,

I'm going to go with the 3.54 gear for sure. In regards to the mag wheels, they are different from the standard Kirkham supplied wheels?
