So... the tunnel is not the main problem with a pan-based replica, Jeff.

The main problem with the vast majority of pan-based speedsters is that the subframe members run inboard of the door openings, creating a really wide sill and a seating area that is significantly narrower than even a VW Beetle.

If you want to run wider seats, this is where I'd concentrate my efforts. There's zero (like no reason at all) why that longitudinal frame member should be where it is. Getting the subframe remade would be the first order of business towards getting a usable seating area.
