For those of you who have installed power windows in their '65-66 Mustangs, How did you cover the holes left in the door panels and rear panels as a result of eliminating the old regulator? We're thinking of adding power windows as we start to put the car back together.
Thanks

I put a tweeter from a set of component speakers in the hole left by eliminating the window crank.

Those speakers look really clean.

How hard is it to put power windows in a 65? How long does it take?

It's not a hard job, but running the wiring is pretty time consuming. The hardest part is drilling the holes in the doors and door jambs.
