That is frikken astounding!
What happened to the good old days when high-tech was bolting your car's body onto a Blazer 4x4 frame and going off roading...now that I think of it, maybe those weren't such good old days after all. ;-) |

Really nice work Bert! Seriously considered going a very similar route on my '63 LeMans.

Yes, using the 2006 power window stuff and adapting it to work with the 70 tracks to roll the 70 glass up and down.
Its in the car and working with the 2006 switchs.

How many wires did you have to splice on this one.

Outstanding.
How does one decide what to cut up first? I can visualize standing next to a perfectly good late model GTO with an idling sawzall.........

As far as the wires...yea, a ton of them. I spent many hours sitting on a stool soldering wires. many, many hours.
And yes it is hard to make the first cut. But once you do make that first cut then its just kinda "go for it" mentality, start cutting and throwing pieces in a pile outside the shop. And then you wind up here  and here

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
