want to install power windows in my 57 but there are several different types of kits out there making it difficult to make a choice --- has anyone made this conversion and what kit did you use tks

I used a 4-window kit from SPW on my Conv. Pretty easy install since it is a direct bolt-in and uses GM motors. I used factory tubes in the doors for wiring.

I've heard many good reports here on the Nu-Relics power windows.

I have Nu-Relics in my front windows in my 57 4 door hardtop.
The window handle as an actuator did not work due to space requirements so I went with the regular switches, No problems yet. I also installed and ran the rear window harnesses and stowed them under the rear seats for future addition of the rear power windows.
