Dear West:

I did one years ago using Chrysler 6 volt electrics.

The owner bought two parts cars: One for the motors and a Packard parts car for the regulators. They worked pretty darn good - especially the fronts which bolted right onto the Packard regulator.

But those Chryslers are pretty hard to find. Once I was looking at a barn load of Packard parts somebody bought. There were a set of 52 DeSoto doors among everything.

He said:
"I don't know why he has these. I should throw them out."

I said: "Don't you dare. That's the 6 volt electric window system that fits the Packard 180."
