I am 6' 6" and thin with 10.5 shoes.

Try Yoga to increase flexibility.

Just be glad you don't have a 28 open pickup cab. I almost got stuck in one once.

On a serious note, look at how they changed the angles for the late 31 coupe with the late style seat. If you can find someone with a 68C or a late coupe try the car out to see if the relationship between the seat and wheel is improved. Then you have some ideas of how to change your car to fit better.

Might remove the left kick panel and pick up a little comfort for size 11s.

I have a 1930 Model A Coupe and I am 6ft tall with size 13 shoes. I cut the package tray back and that gave me about 3 to 4 inches more leg room. You would be surprised what a few extra inches will do for you. I did not do anything but move the seat back that 3-4 inches. Reducing the size of the package tray did it for me!
