Im getting ready to redo the interior in my 69 Camaro. i planned to do the TMI interior and recover the stock seats. However im 6'4" and i have heard that the TMI seat covers with sport foam sit up higher than stock. I have trouble fitting with stock seats so im trying to find an option for the lowest sitting seat there is but still look good. I have seen the new TMI Pro viper bucket seats that appear to have a very thin bottom but have not seen them installed in a 69 camaro and i have also sent a message to TMI with no response on if they are indeed a low sitting seat.
So im looking for recommendations and or pictures of some seats for tall people.

hello,
I am running Gen I Dodge Viper seats in mine. I love them, not too much bolster, but just enough. I am 6'1".

I'm 6'5" and have Procar Rally leather seats and with Procar adaptor brackets they sit fairly low:

That said I have to recline my seat to the point my kids can sit behind me so my head doesn't brush the headliner.

Razorback, that interior looks fantastic! How much of an ass-pain was it to get those to work in a first gen Camaro, lots of fab work? And who did you get to (I assume) recover the seats? Absolutely outstanding!
