Some will offer links to "kits".....no bueno. I have this project on back burner until my suspension is done. I did order some 17 lb door actuators and have also found that 3rd gen firebird/camaros had a hefty door lock actuator too. Ther is no lock pull on the latch and spinning the lock cylinder isn't really locking the dor when you can punch the cylinder through with a little effort. Unlatching the mechanism electrically tAkes a lot of force and imy next step is to disect a latch mechanism and see if I can fab a lock arm or pin that can be actuated. I have installed an alarm with the door triggers , just need more time to get involved. Ill be watching your thread.
