<VV> electric trunk release on a Corvair (be careful !!)

[jimster1]

Even more important than the wiring to the release switch is the
installation of a safety catch so the hood won't fly open whilst in motion.
Ask me how I know about this.  Luckily the damage was only bent hood hinges.

it was never a factory option , and if you put one on , make darn sure you  
power it thru the neutral / backup switch!
i sold a lakewood quite a few years ago that i optioned up including a  
power trunk....the guy hit the "mystery button" while traveling at a good
rate  
of speed....results were a new windshield , trunk lid , and damage to roof. 
i  still hear about it at corvair events . i am kinda famous for adding 
stuff  like that to cars over the years..

64 A/C coupe on the road...
63 rampy on the road
64 greenbrier     in storage here
61 lakewood  saved from crusher (bought for parts stored in it) ,  optioned 
up , almost ready to register.
