Good idea about the safety concerns.    I used a cable release for 
the '65 ragtop, used a universal manual choke cable with a fabricated 
belcrank on the lock cylinder up front, pull knob is inside the glove 
box which means I won't be reaching over while driving to open the 
glove box and reach in the lower left side in back to yank the knob.

Of course, if anybody touches the glovebox while I'm driving, they 
get read the riot act.   No "accidental" trunk lid openings in my 
daily routine.
