[DeTomaso] Sexy Engine Bay

Gary,

VERY nice work as always, but is it Sexy?  I think you need to get out of
the shop and go in the house. Your wife is Sexy (said in a nice respectful
way)!

Hi Chris,

The trunk latch is a generic trunk latch from the hot rod market. There 
is a link to my local vendor on the build page but you can find these at 
most hot rod vendors:

The latch is cable operated but I will email you with an alternate way 
in. Any of the electric releases like Bear Claw will work.
