I just finished mine. I went with the lift handle between the seats (Corvette style) moved the pulley on the frame to under the floor, used one of the old cut off rear cables and welded a nut on the other end. It didn't cost me a dime since I already had the handle from a car I stripped over 20 years ago (what foresight, eh!) and got me 5 hours bonding time with the father in law while the Mrs. was at work. Hopefully it's ready for inspection by the end of next week!
