I have a 1989 Tbird which I like fine except that, due to a physical
disability, I can't reach down to pull the lever that pops the hood.
Does anyone know of an electromechanical hood popper?  I guess I could
find a solenoid and a relay and figure something out from scratch, but
I'm not very good at that sort of thing and I'd rather just install or
adapt something.  (maybe a trunk-lid opener?)

any ideas for a hood release actuator?
