Yes exactly!
I am 5'5" & 145 lbs. and I have to climb over my X bars in the door to get into my seat. I run a fixed halo style seat as it offers the strongest seating position in case of a crash as slider type seat rails may fail upon impact.

The halo seat protects your head from bouncing around and hitting a bar but also blocks the rear view even more than usual in an Ebody. I also had to install a removable steering wheel to help get in and out.

Yeah having a roll cage is a pain in the @$$, but it is all worth it when you are at the track.


I'm 6'1" and larger and my lemons race car is a 63 valiant sedan with a full cage and a halo seat. Watching me get in and out is pretty hilarious! I drove it from Walnut Creek to Benicia today and even with a wink mirror the visibility is awful. Cages are awesome for safety but they do make life difficult when on the street.
