shaved doors on the cheap :)

Ok the topic is shaved doors.

Options-
Electric/Mechanical
Then
Build a kit buy a kit....

I was planning on doing mechanical using cables.
We just did it on a old LTD. and works beautiful he has 6 bucks into both doors... Using cable then for pulleys used parts from a sliding door. and has a loop on the end. for the poppers used hood springs off a SAAB.

Well spinning off this Idea... I dont plan to have my poppers run off a key fob if i go electrical. So the idea...

Using the same basic idea of cables and pulleys but using a trunk release from a third gen camaro. Then after thinking realized it wouldnt work because when you shut the trunk it pulls back in.

So now looking into solenoids... the problem is coming up with on with the right length pull...

Anyone have a suggestion?
