The one piece style is definitely easier than the bow style. That said, it's 100x easier with another person helping.

I just installed mine yesterday. Looks great.

Got the dash back in, and the bird on. Doing the rest of the interior now

Looks great!

Looking great! I’m jealous as my car should be at that stage this coming year. I like the mod with the window relays. Was that a kit you picked up?

Thanks!

The power window relays are something I made. I think someone made a kit at one point, but haven't seen one lately. It's pretty easy to make. I basically copied this thread when building the harness

Painless makes a kit I test fit a first run for them.

I thought they made them, but I figured I'd make my own for a few bucks. For anyone thinking about doing it, I 100% recommend it regardless of if you buy a kit or build it yourself. I haven't seen faster 2nd gen windows. The stock setup is slooooooow!

About to go through the PW on my '79 project & then re mount the doors, not looking fwd to the task.

It's soooo worth it! Makes them operate almost like modern power windows. One of the best things I've done.

Jim, I worked at Rudy Pontiac as a mechanic from 1978 to 1985.

Painless gave me a PW and PL set to trial fit for them I used on the 81.

Your car looks fantastic! I'm wondering if you could post up some clearer pics of the top of your cowl...we're finishing up my son's Y84 and could use some guidance on where the various bumpers, grommets, etc. go.

One thing I remember, when adjusting those doors...
When chasing the final alignment. Don't focus on what you are trying to do to that particular hinge. Get it close and go to the other hinge, work on it. swap back and forth. It's such a pain....

Came out great!!

Thank you! I sold this bird a little while back. It went off to a new home where it'll be enjoyed. I was running out of space lol
