I am considering purchase of an existing FED however the cage is too small for me (I am 6'2" and 190 lbs). I got in with street clothes and it clearly would need to be changed to fit me: both shoulders touched the bars, only 2 inches or so above my head (no room for helmet) and my knees interfere w shifter and steering. So it would need to be modified in all 3 dimensions. Chassis was certified to 7.0 3 years ago. I believe there are some local shops that are competent in this type of work and the FED is less than 2 hours from me and other than me fitting into it....it is what I am after.
Question is can anyone advise on rough order of magnitude of number of manhours or cost to modify without seeing the car so I can evaluate approx. modification cost plus purchase price or to pass on this one and keep looking.
Thanks in advance.....
