Im 6ftish and have a larger than average PRR(Pie Retention Ratio ) and i can comfortably fit in a standard chassis, although i must admit id like an extra inch or two in the pedal area for my legs (33in inside leg).
Although it would be fairly easy to add the extra room in the drivers footwell while your building it without altering the chassis dimensions.

pay attention to the pedal area - if you have large feet, then it can get quite tight in there even with ballet shoes
