just a guess they would charge around 4-5 hrs on their hourly rate but as cheap as you got the kit still pretty cheap total.

Re: from manual to power locks and windows

like I said not horrible to do just take your time a little and get familiar with everything makes it better any time you have to do anything else. your call though. I don't mind working on anything except newer cars that is why I like the 3rd gens and didn't care much for the fourth gen stuff. I see your in Cali is there any decent 64 impala for sale around you?

Re: from manual to power locks and windows

I did mine last fall. It takes some time put not bad. I replaced everything with new stuff except the window switches, which I just had to replace. Should have done it the first time.
