"go the reach around"

When you say popper I think of the electronic actuators but that wouldn't work on a race car when doors need to be opened after the battery kill switch has been pulled.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

I knew that would confuse a few people, that's why i left it to your imaginations. There will be a hole in the window so you can push down on the button. The button is just a rod connected to the door latch like it would be normally, except instead of connecting to the doorhandle it goes straight up thru a small hole at the top of the door just next to the window. And you screw on an old style inner door lock button, like those skull ones you used to buy.

Took some more pics, this boot lid is sold, but i will be makind another one with a join down the middle, so all the c.f lines up.

I know you're going to paint it, but I think you should reconsider, 'coz that looks AWESOME!

Who said i was going to paint it? I am leaving it till it looks a bit tired, then i will clean it up and give it a clearcoat.

I took a quick video to see if i can get my new phone to upload vids. These new phones are pretty good.



How do you get that video box up on here from u tube??
