Does anyone know how much leg room is taken away when you body drop to the doors? I want to b.d. to the doors and chop the top but don't know if I will still be able to drive her after this is done. I am 5'10" tall so I am thinking that I will have to do some rethinking.

I guess a new twist on this is........
