Shaved doors on 67

I'm thinking about shaving the door handles on my 67. What all would I need to do this and what all is invloved? Thanks

You can get all the parts you need from AutoLoc.com. You will need a pair of solenoids to operate the release on your latch, some way to trigger the solenoid (remote keyless entry or a hidden switch...most choose remote now-a-days), and a pair of door poppers. I have used valve springs (cut in half to make them shorter) as poppers before. Just attach them to the hinge side of the door opening instead of the latch side. Works great and aren't in the way at all. They sell a complete "shaved door handle kit" if you choose to go that way. You'll have to get some wires into the doors for powering the solenoids. You will need to fill the holes once you remove the outside handles. It is not a huge headache to do as long as you get everything mounted securely and out of the way of any other moving parts.

Hope that at least gets you headed in the right direction.
