Hey,
Just curious if anyone has done this to match the original.

The original cars had more room behind the seats and showed the rollbars going down. Wondering purely for looks.

Yes it can and has been done. The rear bulkhead is cut at the upper trunk floor level and moved rearward. It won't change how far back the seats can go though.

Done it a bunch of times including the current build I'm working on. As Kleiner says, it won't get the seat back any farther.

Thanks both. Do you have some pictures?
