Tallman,
I didn't build mine--bought it from one of the many masters on this site. You can see the build journal at
http://www.steve-frederick.com/tddone.html
I put my nephew who is 6'2" in it and he didn't have an inch to spare in length. You would need at least 8 to 12 inches longer to fit.
Happy to show you anytime.
Randy
