You could remove the package tray and move the seat back against
the belt rail.That'll give you 4 inches.You can take out
the "riser" - or frame beneath the seat assembly and fasten
the adjusting rails directly to the subframe rails.That will
give you about 4 inches lower at the front but will change the
angle of the seat, so you might want to devise a modified riser
that's 2 inches high in front instead of 4, tapering down to
nothing instead of 2 and gain 2 inches but keep your angle.
You can have a custom seat bottom and back spring made that
is half as "thick" or even make cushions out of foam rubber
and probably gain another 2" back and down.That's about it.
You can gain a little bit on the steering gear by going to a
1931 dash-mounted bracket - they give a little bit more
clearance.Don't even CONSIDER buying a roadster!
