That seat is right next to the steering wheel. I don't think I could fold up my legs far enough to sit in that seat. Guess that is a good way for nobody else to drive her car. Did you put a second seat location farther back so you can do make some test runs?

Yes I have a adjustable rear mount so I can move the seat back for me. She's 5' 2" and Im 6' and I can actually sit in the car and move it around etc.

[it goes in the "where did you hear about us" box]

I will be changing mine this spring & am looking for a replacement . Gary It is an ACC carpet kit and I found something close to cover where the rear seat was. I need to up the post with some new pictures. We just swapped in a new motor I bought from Cab its a 508 with Indy 440-1's. Also converted it to a powerglide now too.

The dash panel that came with the car was ruined from the previous owner. I did a cage similar in a different duster for a customer with the factory dash. So yes its possible if you have the windshield out.
