I bought my 69 XR7 for two reasons - 1. I needed another project and 2. I wanted a car that my wife could drive to shows, cruises, etc. Wife is pretty small - barely over 5 feet tall and I doubt if she hits 3 digits on the scales. Unlike me, she really can still fit into her high school clothes!
I have the interior stripped for restoration, so now is the perfect time to get the car set up for her. One thing I need to do is to raise the seats an inch or two so she can see over the hood. Is there an inexpensive and safe way to do this without screwing up the adjustability and support? I was thinking about getting some 1x2 steel channel, bolt the seat to the top of it, then bolt the bottom of it to the original holes in the pan. Would this work?
Also, is there a good and safe way to adjust the pedals so she can better reach them, or should I just make some detachable blocks for the brake and accelerator pedals?
Any other ideas, suggestion, comments, pictures??? Thanks.
