Default Large guy with small guy seat problem

Hey guys I am a really large guy. look larger when swapping my ford bronco for my 92 RS. Anyway I found tha due to my size I sit a bit to high in thecar. I was wondering if anyone hs encountered tha and maybe solved the problem with different bucket seats or maybe even after market sunk in racing dseats.
I have aTHICK skin so go on with the jokes. I really have been wanting this car since my childhood I finnaly aqquired it but I have to preform a contortionist act to get in and out.
I have been losing a few pounds but I cant lose 100 in the next few weeks.If no solution then Im fine with theyoga stretches as I enter and exit the car.
Happy New Year to all.
Jose

since you say you have thick skin, then ill tell the truth. get your stomach stapled, lose the weight, then you wont have that problem. im sure the car will be a bit quicker as well

Your description makes me think of the old James Bond movie, with Jaws driving while his head is sticking way up and out of a sunroof. I can't find the picture though.
Maybe you could remove the seat foam and slap down a piece of plywood until those 100 lbs. disappear.
Do you need to slick yourself up with Vaseline to even get in the car?
