Which way have you gone ? Aftermarket and which one or Bone yard and which donor car ?
My 36 is a flat window.
Thanks for your info !!!

I am surprised that no one has answered your request for info; Dolphin makes a very good kit, which includes switches & wiring @ around $150.00.  I bought mine off of EBay, approx 2 years ago, for my '37 Ford 2-Dr sedan.  It went in quite easily, w/ only a few mods.  ANY universal kit requires some fitting, but nothing out of the realm of what a street rodder can do.  
I just couldn't see spending the money for Specialty, the recommended "best" in the industry.  Here's one site for you:  (Check the web for others.....)

If they make a kit for it NuRelics is hard to beat.

heh, heh, with as much trouble as I've had with the power windows in my modern rides thru the years, I wonder why anyone would want to replace
a good working hand crank system.

The reason I want to replace the hand crank is I am worried that if my windows break I can't find a replacement. The other reason is to redo the interior. I like roddoors door panels and most of the better looking ones you need power windows.
I spent a week in Wichita the week of June 16 th to 20th. Had a great time. I went to two of your most famous places The Big Dog Factory and The Yard.
I did see one other cool thing 2 Green 737 fuselages on a train.
We were having our Lear 45 1200 hour inspection.
Thanks for all the good info !

Aw gee, shoulda hollered, coulda given you the grand tour.

Now the Yard is a place worth seeing. Wonder how many rods and homebuilt aircraft have depended on that place.

Heh, I also have 5yrs of Learjet on my resume, was one of the most employee centered Aircraft factories I ever worked at.

I live just down the road a bit from where those fuselages are shipped out on the railcars.

Yes, I'm sure the new doorpanels and power windows will really make your ride a lot nicer.

I've used several of the "low cost" pwr window kits in the last couple of cars I've built & have decided SPW kits are worth the extra $ if you consider ease of install and reliabilty.

The next time I am come to Wichita I will email you and I would love to meet you. I met a guy from Newton and He has a 41 Plymouth. I helped him put in A/C. He is the guy that we toured the Big Dog Factory.  I can send his email privately if you want it.
I love your pictures.
P.S. I took 450 pictures at the Goodguys Show at the Atlanta Motor Speedway this year with my new Canon S5. It ain't an SLR but close.
