Power windows?

I've searched around and seen various posts on power window conversions. Has anyone tried (or have a link to) the "more affordable" options like from LMC? Install issues, pics, end results would be great to hear about. Thanks in advance! -Scott

I was being lazy - here's a good link for others:

Bottom line, don't go cheap with LMC. Thanks.

Re: Power windows?

That's neat and all (I've seen it in the street rod world for years) But it has one flaw.

If you only use the cranks, then where is the switch on the driver door to roll down the passenger window?? I saw no mention of that.

If I still have to reach over to roll the passenger window down, then I may as well just leave the factory crank up windows.

Like this (look closely in the ash tray)..... The GM switches were a couple bucks at the local pick-a-part and they're compatible with the crank switches in the doors.
