The
Battle of the Brit's car and motorcycle show was last Saturday. This UK Avenger kit car based on a 1969 Beetle caught my eye. Looks like mostly the pedal movement is beyond the well, with the foot-line in line with the wheel well.
I owned a 1976 Super Beetle once upon a time, it fit my 5-5" body frame just fine. The Super Beetle was bigger than the earlier plain Beetle, several inches in each dimension if I recall correctly.

Also, I'd be careful about your package there. There's got to be room for a seat bottom, seat back and headliner!  |
Oops, I'll fix that screen name error, sorry about that.
The problem with freehand sketching first, then testing it against a template later is that a few fitment issues are bound to occur later on. However, drawing first, to show gesture, intent and artistic flair is so much more natural, even on grid paper. To conform to a template first is too engineering like, sucks the life out of anything. Gotta allow for a back and forth circular design development process.
