Planning to shave the handles

[BWE]

CompuDJ:
I shaved the handles on my '70 standard, easy enough to do just take your time!
You will need the solenoids as Doug described, but you won't need the door poppers. The weather stripping is enough to "pop" open the door after the latch is released. What you will need is a remote system similar to what most late model vehicles have on them. The system consists of a key fob, a "brain" for the car, and a series of relays. I have installed several. Watson's streetworks in the US makes a good one (though the transmitters are kinda ugly), SPAL makes an excellent system (which you can get with the solenoids included). Then you'll need to decide how many channels you want to have (1: driver's door, 2: passenger's door, 3: battery disconnect, 4: hood release, etc.....).
Something else to consider is that you should have a manual backup to open the door in case of a dead battery or a problem with the remote system. A pedal bike derailuer (sp?) cable run from the latch inside the door forward through the door jam and out into the trunk is a good idea (as long as you can get into the trunk!)
Good Luck!
Cheers,
