Air Hatch.

Reusing the old unit, I have successfully mounted the hatch on two air cylinders, that will convienently use the same system as the doors (and everything else involving pneumatics, for that matter).  We've also found an excellent switch panel to hook up all the electronics.  It's quite nice, and also features a separate unit that can be remotely mounted.  It's really designed to be mounted in the engine bay to turn on such things as ground effects, but it will work perfectly for the Bricklin.

The idea is, with the press of a button the hatch will open.  Press another (convienently mounted at the rear of the car) and the whole rear console will slide forward.  Press one more and the storage compartments pop open.  Yet another button will activate the ambient lighting.  If I get in the driver's seat and realize everything isn't where it's supposed to be, I can just hit the switches from the driver's seat and set everything right again.

Speaking of the interior modifications, the newly mounted cylinders require a bit of reworking of the interior panels.  Always nice to find that something doesn't quite fit as originally intended.

Other than that minor setback, everything's going well.  Sorry for the lack of updates; I have another (non-automotive) project in the works that's been taking up my time when not working on the Bricklin.  More on that if or when it pans out.
