Engman Style Trunk Release, Nearly Done Options

[Nogoodwithusernames]

Is anyone making a kit like the one Mr. Bland was making before he passed? My car already has a reflector and solenoid kit installed but of course it's iffy and requires two people when it does work (to depress the trunk lid). Or maybe have a list of components or some instructions for anything like it?
Figured after finishing up brakes this weekend *fingers crossed* I should make sure the rear trunk works since I've got a road trip planned with it in a few months.

Put a strong wire on the solenoid bracket so if your battery is dead or you need to get into the rear trunk in an emergence you can grab the wire from under the rear bumper and releases the rear trunk. Lots of guys do that. Look it up on search Engen.

And do what the Dr. George says

Mine had the solenoid non-operative, and a heavy wire routed straight down thru a small hole in the trunk floor long enough to just sit above the bottom of the valance. Much easier than a ling cable thingy.
