In answer to the questions about shaved handles. There is an electrical solenoid in the door which pulls the latch to open. I used a 4 channel receiver to open the doors remotely or there is a hidden push button switch also. The third and fourth channels raise or lower the car but they could be used for trunk, power windows or whatever you want.
CBR: Here a pic of the engine. Outwardly it is nothing special, the budget was eaten up by internals. Not much bling and kind of dirty from sitting.

I did the handles myself. After removing the handle and lock I closed the holes in the door by welding in a couple pieces of steel. The door latch needed a little addition to the lever (where the pen is pointed in the pic). The solenoids are mounted in the lower back of the door with a steel cable running up to the latch. In the pic the yellow outline is the solenoid and routing of the cable. The four screws are what holds the solenoid. I used 35# solenoids and installed 50# poppers in the forward door jamb to help push the door open.

This is gonna make me sound really old but I had shaved door handles with Solonoids & Poppers on an 89 Custom GMC StepSide I used to have... back in 1989!! I had buttons mounted on the bottom side under the mirror on each side to pop that door. Had a power shut off in the fender on the drivers side with coke machine key lock. It was a sweet set up, "Back in the Day"! 
we didnt have remotes back then.
