Hello,
I have a set of frenched doors I am using on my truck and was wondering if anybody knew of a inexpensive remote door popper kit on the market. Any info will be appreciated.

"FRENCHED" means that they're tunneled or resessed never seen that done with a door!! the picture you posted shows a shaved door

look in a copy of street rod magazine - there are tons of different vendors - most I remember sell the kits for around 150$ i think. thats w/ remotes,poppers, module, solenoids, mounting hardware ,etc.

yea i got the vpa kit from summit. but mine was 200 dollars. its for two doors but i upgraded the 15# seleniods to 45# ones. its been a good kit.

check the pull rating of the solenoids before you order....I bought a cheap kit when i did my 64 pontiac, and they weren't stong enough to pull the latch mechanism....I wound up ordering some solenoids from autoloc and they worked great...kinda pricey though..but they definately pull!!!...i just wired them into the relays on my car alarm
