Default Will I fit: footwell length and driver height?

My first proper post so bare with me.

I'm concerned about building the chassis them finding I don't fit or it's an uncomfortable squeeze.

On my trawls round this forum over the last year or so, I remember a few mentions of driver height and chassis dimensions.

I have tried to find them again with the search but have had no luck ( do others find the search a little primative, that is it has no ability to search for conbinations of words?)

So my question is: I'm 6' 2" (but not large round the middle), will I have plenty of room with a book built car and not be limited in the type of seat I fit.

Is it normal to fit the driver's seat on runners, so it is adjustable, so as my shorter wife will reach the pedals?

So maybe some of you taller members with reasonably advanced or finished cars could indicate if your heigth has caused any problems.

I was planning on having a chat with a few members at Stoneleigh and seeing if they'd kindly let me sit in their cars to see how the 'fit' is, but it looks like I will (hopefully) be well it to the chassis build by then.

Failing that anyone not too far from Bournemouth with an advnaced enough build I could visit for a 'fitting'.

Thanks.
