I was planning to use power windows on the 48. Anyone got any comments on the installation of the power window kits that are out there, or pictures of the installation is even better? Do you still use the frame that goes around the glass? Just looking for some tips. Thanks

http://www.classicperform.com/Store/...Conversion.htm Im planning on using this kit for my 52. Its a bit on the pricey side but if it is truely a bolt in kit, the frustration saved is worth it. I was originally going to use a universal flat glass kit, but changed my mind when I found cpp offered this kit. I think no matter what you would still use the frame that goes around the window.

I bought a 1 piece kit for my 57 from bothers, was not inpressed still had to make some pieces to get it to work right. On my 38 coupe I took out the wingwindows and got the pieces locally. Made the glass blank out of 1/4 hardboard, and sent it to the glass shop. I had less than 1/2 the cost in that kit.
