Shaved Door Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I shaved the doors on my 1991 Toyota, and I remember having a solonoid that released the latch, but I don't think I actually had anything to push the door outta the same time. I will be picking up my 1965 doors next week and would like to be prepared. Has anyone shaved their handles? What did you do?

Use "door Poppers" there a spring that helps push the door open

Since these doors are so heavy, a "popper" makes the opening easier.
I converted my doors to bear claw latches, too since my originals were worn out.
