Put the driver onto a seat which I had cut out of the red Jeep mod project. Was thinking of cleaning up all the extra plastic around the seats and using these for this build complete with center console.

Now that I can measure the head clearance for the driver, I made some changes to the side panels of the cab. There will be more head room once the roof is installed. It will will not be a simple flat roof but curved on the sides, giving more headroom and style. I also lowered the height of the engine compartment. You can now see both spare wheels from any side. I like it better like this.

Front look. Driver's eyes are level with the windshield (drawn in pencil) and legs resting on the lower front panel.
