Wanting to add power windows

I just picked up a 91 firebird that I plan on building into a True10.5 car. I have roll up windows now- how diffiult would it be to add factory power windows to this car?

And while I'm at it- how about a rear hatch release button? The motor seems to be fried in the hatch now because after I used the key to open it- it wont pull the hatch down and lock.

Thanks,

Steve

Re: Wanting to add power windows

factory parts would require a donor . a good number of bits & pieces to swap . many people have done the conversion . there also are aftermarket power window kits that use existing hardware . my car was converted by previous owner with such a kit . seems to me the kit would be a lot easier to install . part of the kit is a "T" handle to operate window in case of power loss . just my thoughts . the kit used to convert my car is mfg. by SPAL . no thoughts on hatch release my car does not have one & previous ones worked . good luck .
