All our rears may be a tad wide ,just have to deal with it

Glad you had a good time. I was there back around 06 or 07 as I was in dearborn for training. I spent some time in the research library. Got a lot of info on the 62 prototype mustang and the GT40. Had some copies made. They were very accomodating. I asked for info on the 62 prototype and they brought out a large folder with drawings, articles and inter-office correspondence. Had to wear white cotton gloves to handle the paperwork.

I am assuming you are talking about a 1969 fastback (Sportsroof) model and those came with two spacers fitting between the column bracket and where it attaches to the pedal support under the dash. It is an aluminum spacer and it is 1" x1" square and I think 3/8" thick and for some reason Ford wanted the column lower on Sportsroof models. If you remove those spacers the steering wheel will move up about 3/4"-1". That might be enough to help. That's what I did on my 1969 Mach 1. After you remove those spacers you will need to replace the small trim panel below the column and that round/oval rubber trim piece that fits over the column with those for a coupe. But, those are being reproduced and relatively inexpensive. After you are finished. from the engine compartment side of the firewall, make certain the steering shaft is fairly centered in the column. You might need to loosen the column floor mount and readjust it a little.

I installed an IDIDIT tilt column, moved my seat pans back 6" and installed MTF seats (2" lower than competitor seats). I am 6'7" and now fit. Additionally, the inner qtr panel interior pieces was sectioned by 2 inches and wrapped in leather to allow the seat to recline further (can recline all the way though it is not needed). The back seat is eliminated with a custom fold down that stays down at all times. When your 6'7" people can't sit behind you regardless of the car

Was waiting for that haha ! I was thinking ,eat less donuts haha Tilt stearing

You can lose weight... You can also slide the seat all the way back before exiting (if not already) and it will be there when you enter the car. You can also extend the rails for further movement backwards.

Awesome! I will check it out tonight.
