19723DR - thanks. i have to say i'm enjoying reading your thread as well.
so today the brown truck brought me my door popper kit. I wasn't expecting it since the site i bought it from seemed kinda shady, and never replied to my emails. anyways, it's here, and i just had to jump right in on it.
I'm using the Dec issue of CCT as my guide for this. All in all, seems simple enough. i ran into an issue drilling the hole in the latch for the pull cable to hook into, so i'm gonna stop by a local auto shop tomorrow and see if they can drill me a couple holes.
tonight i got all of the guts of the door handle / latch removed, drilled the holes for mounting the solenoid, and got the D side door welded up. I used patch panels i got off ebay, so it went really quick. They all fit very well and should be easy to clean up.
here's the pics:
