[V8] Battery out of car, locked out again!

[urq@pacbell.net]

I'm assuming that you can't just stick the key in one of the front doors to unlock ...

If you can get into the trunk, find the pneumatic motor under the carpet on the bottom side of the lid.  Remove the vacuum line and pressurized the system with a bike pump or air compressor.  There's a relief valve in the pump that may dump whatever pressure you apply, but I was able to push the door locks up enough to unlock them with my bike pump.

Does anyone know a way to open a V8 that has the battery removed? I've done this 
before and I made a point of leaving it open, but somehow it's locked again.In the 
past, I have gotten half way thru the ski sack opening to attach jumper wires to the 
+ & - cables and used an external battery that then let me use the key in the door. 
I really don't want to do that again! Any other way? The hood is latched and it 
seems slim jims won't fit. How then? Bob
