Michael,
This has ALWAYS been a problem for some.
I'm CURIOUS, if we'll get any NEW ideas.

In my Tudor Sedan I bought the seat brackets from Snyders that move the seat back and it's very comfortable now. Did you use those?

My tudor seat was moved back when I got it. Simple angle iron bolted to the floor with several holes about 1" apart. I modified it to raise seat about 3". Easily returned to original.

Don't know if your problem is when you are in the rig or when you are trying to get in. With my 29 coupe, getting into it is my problem. The way I get in is to put my right leg in first, put my buns on the seat and then pull my left leg and big foot in. Not the most graceful but it works. Also moved the bottom of the seat back a few inches.
