I just concentrate on "Sunset Strip." close my eyes and levitate up over the side and slide down into the seat like Kookie.

I am 80 , I have a door on passenger side ,that really helps me get in ,I put my left leg in first , then my right hand on top of windshield ,then sit on seat ,and slide my butt over under the wheel. And I am not a little guy. What ever works.

With a 31" inseam and a 29" high body side I have absolutely NO problem. Even my wife who is only 5' 5" has no problem.

I have a big boy body from rpm , it has a functioning door on the passengers side. I plan to make the driver's door also functioning. I also plan to widen both doors by 4 inches.

Im almost 47. I can see myself putting a door on the passenger side of the bucket. Also, one of those bathtubs with the door for home like you see on TV doesn’t seem like a bad idea either....

I honestly built my T low enough to allow me (5'-4") to climb in without too much drama. It also looks cool (to me) but ingress/egress was definitely a consideration.

I wish I could go back to 47yo--I would take better care of myself and not be in this shape.

The bath tub: do you have to sit in it and wait for it to fill? That kills the idea for me. If it somehow rapid fills, it’s a good idea... just thinking.

I broke my body very severely at 32 so it’s been a long bumpy road, but going back sounds good to me.

I’m 37...no 38...ah who knows!!! Somewhere in there. Anyways, no doors here but mine is low and I don’t have any troubles. When I do, I suppose it’s time to give this one to one of my kids and build another one with a door.

A tall guy with a low bucket vs a short guy with a tall bucket. Anybody see the difference?
