First issue is it was built for a 6'2" driver, she is 5'2". Looks like the pedals and seat nead to be around 10" closer. I can move the pedals 4" back, then I have to make up the rest with the seat. Anyone had any luck with seat sliders? Would be nice if I could still fit in it to load the trailer, lol.

I have seat slide rails from Summit Racing. They work OK.. The only problem is that they rust up pretty quickly and then they do not slide very well..

I'll work on some next weekend, gotta set up my photobucket account for my new E-mail. It is oddpowers buggy he built last year. Very well put together, just needs adjusted to fit her. And she wants it pink and Black, lol.

Got the pedals moved back 3" before the center console stopped me. Waiting on Ody's sliders, guess they will have to wait till next weekend. Got a optima mounted in it so it starts now. If I can get the seats moved on Friday I can teach her to shift Saturday? Lol, then off to Wellsville the following weekend.

Almost forgot, I need to build ramps for my trailer, and a hitch so I can pull hers behind it. And change my rear bearings if I get a chance. :shock:

Well we got the pedals moved back about 3' on the gas and 5" on the brake and clutch. Then added the sliders I got from Ody. Was just enough after some tweeking. Went out on a gravel road last night and let her loose with the clutch for the first time. Did pretty good for a kid who just started learning to drive an automatic about 2 months ago. No hills to try her on here so next weekend at wellsville should be interesting, lol.
