So, what are your thoughts on a 5' 9" guy weighing in at 230 with a 30" inseam fitting in a stock roadster? Obviously have a bit of a beer gut, and dieting for a number of reasons
I'll take pictures of mine '28 roadster. We did a lot of figuring out to move the seat down and back. I'm 5"10", 240 & 30" inseam and used a '32 box and wheel and can slide in quite easily. In the stock position, it was tight.

Now, it works out great. If you are doing a hotrod, I can let you know about other tricks to make it more roomy.
