1956 f100 window regulator arrive

I have quietly started gathering bits and pieces to complete as much as I can with what little I have so far. 

I did mention the other week I was planning on NOT using the two brand new electric window kits that came with the project. One was a Dolphin Ezywire kit and the other was a Spal kit. From what I can glean from the Spal kit, you have to use your existing regulator and this mechanism supplements it. I could be wrong, and to be frank, I am not interested.

Instead, gone back to the tried and true Armstrong Method of using your arm to wind the windows up and down. I know people think that is primitive but this is an old truck. 

Anyway, it doesn't matter what others think, I am using these regulators. 

For a language adjusted video of my dreadful frustrations of working with electric windows, have a look at this video on YouTube. 

I know they are old and crusty (like me), but, you know, they just work! 

Thanks to Greg for these regulators. They came up well after a bath and now just need a paint and some grease in the spring and they will be perfect. Had a bit of a fight with one of the cage bolts, but we came to an arrangement and eventually the bolt came out without me torching it, so all sweet! 
 

I hit it with a coat of cheap gold paint. Looks hilariously outrageous, so I think I will rub it back and do it again. This time, in good old matt black.
