I use the ol standby on the RKE FOB.
Now how to keep it from opening
when the button is pressed in your
pocket erroniously....

Wow, I had mine installed today, and it only cost me a ride in my car, lol.






Yup, having kids is a good thing!
Next, make dad a rum and coke!

well after talking about this mod forever and seeing everyone else do it I just bought my OEM trunk release button off eBay

now to decide where to put it, I think I like the idea of having it down by the hood release, then I don't have to open something to press it.

Convenient.

I seriously hated those days. Every time my dad got a genius idea, I got filthy.

You have no idea how many heads/cams I had to change out...not to mention those damn rocker arms and pushrods...bleh

at least I know my way around a motor now though...I'm disgusted to realize I can still remember the firing order and proper head stud torquing order for a SBC V-8

My glovebox has the registration and insurance card in it.
I dont use the stang for storage. I use it to get from point
A to point B and sometimes point C.
The interior and center console are barren of foreign objects.
The trunk is also empty except for a blue plastic tub with velcro
on the botton to keep it from sliding around.
Groceries and such go there for the trip home but are promrtly removed.

The Chally is even more 'virgin'...
