More shaved handle ?'s
I did a search and didnt look too hard but couldnt find these questions so sorry if theese have been answered.
First of all if you when you install the system on both doors how do you go about only opening your driver door? I mean does the remote have two buttons, one for each door?
Second my cars scrapped right now and I dont know exactly how the hatch pull down functions but it opens by the key behind the license plate Im thinking so is there any way to wire the hatch pull down to the same remote?
So what I am looking for is a system that will open both my doors and possibly have another button I can use to pop the hatch.

The 'brain' has 7 channels, so you can hook up 2 doors, hatch, and up to 4 other things - in theory. My Firebird is long gone, so I have no way of looking to see if there is an electric release for the hatch (ie, push a button and the hatch pops up) you may need to get another solenoid to release the hatch (the kit above comes w/ two solenoids - one solenoid per door)

Depending on the kit you get, yes there will be multiple channels. It is also possible to use the extra channels on an existing alarm system.
If your car did not have an electronic hatch release button in the dash, then you will have to add a second solenoid. Those can also be had fairly inexpensively on ebay as a kit. This can then be wired into the remote for the doors.
My advice, if the car is gutted and you will be doing all of the aftermarket modification at once, then just buy a good alarm with two or three extra channels. Then get the solenoids for the doors and hatch seperate. If you do a search under my name, I posted a wiring diagram for this a while back.

Alright I figured out my kit which I got from summit, , my antenna and handles are shaved, and now I need to figure out what to do with my gas cap. Im thinking Im just going to keep it like it is unless someone can sell me an easy way of doing it.

You could re-route the filler neck to the glovebox in the trunk. But I'm not a big fan of that. Redraif had some posts on it.

Ya I was going to do something along those lines until my dad told me that gas had a good chance of spewing inside if I get into an accident and I would probably get a lil gas inside when filling it.

Her setup works pretty well, actually ( helped her do it), but there is a trick to putting gas in...you have to hold the nozzle upside down, and pump a little slower than usual to keep it from backing up (since you have to replace a realtively straight gas filler pipe with a 90 deg bend). I am planning to shave the cap on my own car as well, but I'll be using a fuel cell.
