How much room?

How much more legroom can I expect to gain on a Vintage Speedster if I remove the some of the padding and reaupholster or go with the 'bucket' style seats? The bolts are as far back as they will go. So those are my two options. I am 6'2, 34 inseam.

Wow....I never thought I would be giving my measurements this group. :) (46 Long on the Jacket)

You might sit in one before you make this decision, but for my husband, the speedster buckets make for a great deal of room. We don't have a speedster, but our cool friends do and have let Steve sit in and drive them.

Steve is 6'2, 34 inch inseam, jacket size is a 44 or 46. In a speedster, with speedster buckets, he has a great deal of room.

Justin,

The speedster buckets made the difference for me. Only, I found that the one's from JPS were a lot more comfortable. Pinched my back less (the back rest is less concave) and were also more rigid. The Vintage one's were like a wet spaghetti noodle when i cornered...they would just flex.

I am 6'2", 195lbs, 42L and on a good day when not swimming in a cold pool...oh, nevermind.

Did you EVER sell those seats . . . . ?

nope. still saving them for you, t.c.

along with a 1641 engine, a 2020 engine, a 3.88 tranny, and some long swing arm axles. I'm in need of a serious yard sale. anyone want to send a truck to western mass?

George, What's the deal with the engines & trans? I go to western mass fairly often to visit family etc. I would like to have a spare if something big goes wrong. Down time drives me crazy (and it's a short drive). Send E-mail if you like. Sorry for the hijack. Al

got a bone stock 1641 stripped. A 2020 berg motor complete (I can send you the spec sheet) and a bone stock 4.12 tranny. All with low miles and in great shape. Nothing wrong, I just get bored and needed more power... Twice now. Let me know what you're interested in andi can give you details. I go to Yarmouth often and can help you on delivery.

After... AL G. looks at what he may want, email me too with the details: drclockATpa.net ~Alan

Thanks George, P E-mail sent. Thanks Alan, I'm sure sure you have a place for everything. BTW , Doc you've created a monster with the freezer thing.
