A slightly narrower seat frame would clear and recline all the way no problem. While there's been talk that Marvin could be ready before the Back to the 50s show the weekend of June 20, I've also got a baby girl due June 15 so spending the weekend at the show this year may be a tall order! Any chance you'll have your truck in the Gopher State show in April? That's always a fun show to visit at the end of a long winter.
Congratulations on the baby. I just had a little girl too. She is almost 7 months and slowed my progress down on my truck but she is worth it. Is this your first kid? I hope to go to the gopher state show but there is no way my truck will be there. I am currently building the motor. so far all I have done is the suspension. Its a slow process.
