Bryan: Give Mike Paar of "Mike's Place" a call. He did the "Big Guy Car Mod" for me several years ago. I'm 6'1" and 32inseam. It involved tipping the drivers seat back and messing with the gas pedal. It did make a difference for me. Here's the link to Mike's Web page: http://www.mikes-place.biz/ Their phone number is 602-253-1136.
Bill's suggestion for a reverse Ilizarof Procedure (http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Ilizarov+apparatus) might work, but it will certainly be a touch more painful.
