You might try to call, and ask for Todd @ 316-775-7771.
They can build it for you, or sell you the correct parts. Good people to deal with.

X2 on the Pattersons...

I just got a 2017 Copo 350 supercharged My question to all you Copo guys what have you found to be the best way to get into it, the space between the door bar and the steering wheel is mighty slim. I am 173 and 6 ft and it really tough getting in. What is the trick?

I thought I saw a Copo with tilt steering??? This is always nice in any car.

We have a 2012 first run COPO. I am 6'2" and 240, I go in head first.

Same, I'm 6'1" 230lbs with a 2017 and go in head and right foot first, not too tight

Put in a removeable steering wheel. Would help gain some room

I’m 6’8” 295 and can get in and out of my car with a little squeeze! Head first hands down.
