[DeTomaso] Deck Lid Release

[jderyke at aol.com]

FWIW, the pushbutton's decklid release is identical to the front trunk lid release but with a longer bowden cable. It resides in a sizeable dent formed in the drivers side door upright/B-piller. There is no corresponding dent in production Pantera bodies. The same lever is used in Mangustas. This is why such cars do not use decklid key-locks. A T-handle cable would be a better solution for production cars but take a bit more force to open the latch.

Chuck, any pics of the release handle on the door jamb?  I've been thinking
of doing a remote deck release when I have 6328 restored.  Looking for
suggestions from others who have done similar and where they've sourced the
parts.
