You may be going the low buck way I don't know. If I was going with a frame off restoration, and when the time is right I will. I would check out some of the hot rod body shops around town and put in an aftermarket hood popper. The solenoids have advantages in that they add to the polished look of your frame off. This is exactly the type of problem that they deal with all the time. A lot of shops will give you pointers and suggestions if you are doing the work yourself. My experience has shown me that the old timer rodders like helping out. They know that when the time is right you will come back to them or may even send them new customers.
