has anyone installed any type of power door lock actuators? if so was it a kit or something that was put together. I am working on something right now but nothing looks like it is going to be a piece ok cake.

There are several kits out there that are easy to install. I haven't done it on my '67 yet, but I have on an '82. I know some of the guys use the MES kit from A1 Electric.

not a kit, just bend the rods that come with the actuator and wire it up. Its not as bad as it looks
