:woot: Just finished my first rough install of the power window conversion in my 69 Camaro.
Now....before you read anymore, please know that I am CHEAP! Yes, I know there are a variety of "bolt in" kits...but what is the fun in that?
I have a complete 1996 Caprice cop car that I have been parting out. I yanked the power window regulator from it and have been rough fitting it in the camaro door.
I had to flatten out the inner buldges on the factory camaro door skin where the stock manual regulator mounts. The camaro horizontal sliders went right on the caprice regulator.
After a bit of adjusting and fitting, it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I can clean up the passenger install and do a first class install on the driver. Next, I will tackle the 1/4 glass windows. I am also moving the power door locks from the caprice.
It has come in handy so far. Bought it for $700. Sold the engine/trans from $1,100 with the computer. I have so far used the gas tank, fuel lines, and a dozen or so misc parts including the cool factory trunk release button. So....it is like getting paid to use these parts!
