I'll tell you what, I'd take another '76 shell off anyone, as I know the one I have is going to rust out quicker than I'd like to mention. It still looks fine, but I know the secrets she keeps...
I'm 6'1" so maybe my space issues aren't quite the same, but I drive as upright in my 99 as possible. Without the moon roof, there is plenty of headroom for me. My left leg can feel a bit cramped on long trips but that's about it. To create more leg room you'd probably have to cut the front off both a 99 and 900 and swap them. It is the initial reason they lengthened the front end in the first place: more leg room and more room for the engine in a crash (so it doesn't end up in your lap). Good luck, I say, but you can swap all the hardware from a 900 over to a 99 with little rigging. Other than the metric/non-metric issues with the brake lines, the rest swaps in nicely. Pulling the 99 motor is quick enough...then throw the 5 speed in there. I think you are safe with every swap imaginable except the dash.
