Power windows

Hi,
I'm putting power windows in a '56 and keeping the vent windows. I was wondering what the best system is for this. Do the door latch mechanisms need to be modified? Thanks for any help.

I have Specialty Power Windows in my '59. I also found "A-1 Electric" (www.a1electric.com) that has a nice assortment of PW kits, wire harnesses, and switches.

Happy hunting!
Daryl
