Well after doing some checking on other sites I found that this is one of the best kits and will open VERY heavy hot rod doors. Im sure it will be ok for the G.

hey steve...

unless a miracle happens, i will NOT be making the Anaheim show in December. the car will be ready before then, but a lot of little stuff that still needs to be done before she is show ready.

i will let you know when the next show comes up.

hey i saw on overhaulin a dodge magnum that they did. there were these strips that cover the hole where the door handle is. all you do is touch it with your hand and the car door opens. you should get those. i can't remember the name of them

yeah, saw the same show. only downside is that it didn't look flush with the car.

if you saw it up-close, you could see the outline of those strips, which in my opinion, detracts from the whole purpose of shaving the handles.

If you are going to shave the door handles, maybe you should look into shaving the moldings which go across the doors (the ones that somewhat protect your car from door dings).

Everything has been shaved except for the handles. To get in You use a remote, like a alarm button. I did this on my last show truck but the kit I used wasnt that good.
