    Dan, looks like a good place for it.

    Question, how did you do the trunk release setup? After market?
    Donor car etc?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    They are on eBay all the time .. Ford original Electric releases. However, I did not buy it from the guy that consistently lists them out there. I happened to hook up with this one out of a Lincoln and the seller included the nicer button with chrome bezel. Generally they just come with a plain button and no bezel meant to be mounted in a glove box ...

    Dan, thanks for the additional information. I appreciate it! I had thought about that mod a while ago myself, but I never followed up on investigating any further.

    Thanks again! :)

    Haven't you heard of the Mercury Comet Maurauder GT? It was the sister of the Maverick Maurauder (both 4 door sport sedans offered in 71, only, to celebrate the first year of the 4 door).... :D
