what power window kit to use?

For those of you with Nu-Relics, can you do the fronts first and add the rears later on (buying them separately)?

you can, but the harnesses are different so a master 4 door switch is no longer useable

I have the electric life units in my '73, they're OK but not great. The windows go down like a rocket, fast and hard. Coming up is the problem, the motors don't seem to have enough torque or gear reduction. Coming up they are slow and weak.

If someone else tries out the Nu-relics or another brand on a second gen Camaro, let me know how they are please. I'm still working on my'72 trying to finish it this summer. I have a set of factory power windows but really don't like the switches and I've been told that the aftermarket switches will not hold up or work with them. I may wire up a relay system to use whatever switches I like with the factory units, but if the kit from another manufacturer is cheaper than this route I'll consider it. I will need new or rebuilt motors for the factory set-up so it will be pricey to do also. No more Electric-Life units for a second gen. for sure.

They go up just fine, as good or better than the factory windows. Have a 70 Firebird in the shop with them. Factory switches will not work since aftermarket motors and switches are reverse polarity

Hey, anybody what diameter hole to drill for the Nu-Relics boots?

I have the same reaction as Parkerrs. The 'Lectric Life kit is .. ok...
Wouldn't buy them again.
Probably works much better in a car that has a window frame, or an older A body, but not the 2nd gen F-Bodys.. I have the kit in my 75 Formula.. These cars a tricky when it comes to the windows....
