He needs the Gurney hemisphere...preferably made of plexiglass!

I wonder if he'd be able to fit in the new GT40 concept car Ford came out with? It's has larger dimensions.

Too bad Ford's not going to make it.

Maybe, some one should do a kit car of the concept car?

You know, some of the Safir cars were build with removable door tops (Peter Thorp, owner of Safir, is evidently rather tall), maybe that's an alternative for someone that tall.
I'm 5'8"- never felt lucky to be medium height before,until the day I realized I would fit in a GT40.

hi Jim

This guy has his feet resting on the radiator.
I'm in the 5'8" tall club too.

I always thought "vertically challenged" just meant you short guys. It certainly
takes on a new meaning in the case of a GT40!

If this guy had chrome shoes it would look like the car had front over-riders

Hey all you tall guys, before you despair too much, let me tell you that all is not lost. I'm 6'3" and fit inside my Roaring Forties car, with Helmet ON.

Admittedly, the seat cushion thickness, the dropped floor and raised dash was all part of the compromise, but hey, I would have been prepared to do the surgery on the legs if that was what was required!
