I was able to make a bunch of small mods to my FFR and I fit great now. A bit of history...
In 2005 I examined over twenty cobras at Knotts and could only work the pedals enough to drive in one. Lucky for me that one car belong(ed)
to a great guy, Doug Wondery. He actually offered to let me take his for a spin - pun thrown in for comic effect - when he saw me at Willow Springs that October and I was hooked.
From that configuration (stock seats bolted to the floor, mustang pedal box), I made the following changes to my build:
- Wilwood pedalbox. Option from FFR now? If not, get it from Fortes. Added 2" of legroom.
- Kirkey intermediates seat option. I got 17" instead of 16" wide and cut the tops off to mimic the Kirkey vintage racing seat. How you mount them makes a difference in the amount of add'l room you get, but count on at least another 2".
- FFMetal drivers footbox sheetmetal replacement panel (although I highly recommend his "grand slam"). It gives back the space taken on the MKIII to accommodate the 4.6L mod motor so Micheal will have to run a Small block, ie 5.0(302) or Windsor(351) or maybe even a... I can't say it. Think Darth Vader... [Big Grin]
- Dead pedal mod. Lot's of options here.
- Footbox crash bar mod. This one is optional. I have big feet so the outer driver's footbox crashbar is in the way.
All of the mods above can be seen in this thread:

I'm 6'5+, 275lbs
with long legs and I can now stretch my left leg until it's almost straight.
HTH,
