I'll back RickD on the ERA suggestion. You should no problem fitting into an ERA and you also won't have to sacrifice any originality with a stretched wheelbase. Keep in mind you may want to sell the car someday and ERAs are legendary for holding their value due to their originality. You will also find a great deal of the car comes pre-assembled. If you look at my gallery you will see how my car came delivered to me and I did not order a roller. Because I ordered the optional rear suspension and comp. front brakes, my car was simply ready for wheels and tires which I shipped to ERA for easier delivery. All aluminum panels installed, dash, headlights, pedals, brakelines, etc. This is a replica you basically can't screw up and you will save mucho hours and work. Like you, I am also painting mine myself. Do yourself the favor and take a ride up to Connecticut.
