[QUOTE=maxxxy;4115624]On the shaved doors and poppers, I know a lot about them and how they work but I I don't know about the emergency manual unlock. How does that work? Where do you hide it?

Maxxy, the typical emergency release is a sheilded cable that hooks to the
release inside the door, and is routed thru the door jamb into the wheel well or some other inconspicous place for a manual release. A lot of the kits I see for solenoids actually come with one, or you are able to purchase one. But they are easy to rig.
Ive see folks use a universal choke style cable, and old section of speedometer cable, awnmower throttle cables, old bicycle brake or shift cables or even a piece of bailing wire! I knew of one truck that only had this type of release.
I left the lock cylinder on my 81 and use a key-pop.
