Thank you.I got a Dynacorn original hood. I am going to keep all the original lines, and even remove the side scoops behind the door. The custom touches will be the sun roof, rear wing, front spoiler, rear air dam, and side skirts. The goal it to keep the lines nice and clean, with a few subtle details. I may put the bolt on mach1 scoop on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have not decided on mechanical or electrical actuation, but I can do either. The mechanical will be in the form of a bicycle cable, electrical will be in the form of a momentary switch. Electrical seems the best option, since it requires the least amount of force. I saw that to buy them was $600-800 for a pair, which is ridiculous when it only takes $30 in materials, and I like making shit. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JET 445 43 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 So now you are making custom door handles, I would of thought making a custom chassis was enough. Suddenly I feel very lazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver_69_Coupe 31 Report post Posted November 10, 2017 If you want to go the electric route here is what I did. I used a keyless entry kit and some door lock actuators from a early 90's Silverado. Then built brackets that hooked them into my door latch. I think the whole setup cost about 50. They work quite well. 1 Footcutter11 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
