1969 Dodge Dart GT Convertible - Revamped
So, I've got a 1969 Dodge Dart GT Convertible that was originally a console shift, bucket seat, slant six car. Fun but I wanted more fun! 
As of now I have a 69 318 with 22,000 original miles in it. I also have a 69 340 at the shop (which I'm probably going to sell).
What I really want to do is to make it a sweet old classic muscle car with all the modern stuff.
I am planning on putting a 6.1 Hemi (who can say no to 425+ HP and 20 mpg?) in it. Right now I'm just in the dreaming stage
but once I save up enough, I'm going to do the swap.
My overall plan for the car is to drop in the 3G Hemi, put in power locks, power windows, a/c, updated suspension, etc.
This winter I am going to put in the a/c, and hopefully the power locks and windows (and probably trunk and hood as well). However, I can't seem to find a power window kit anywhere for it. I can find some for pre '67 Darts and post 69 Darts, but none for 67-69 Darts. Any ideas? I'd really like to get this done.
Any help, hints, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
And as always, I'd love to talk MOPAR anytime (here in Idaho, when I go into a auto store, they laugh when I say mopar. I then laugh at them when they have one of 50 Novas at the auto show).
Thanks!!!

More Projects...
I'll try to get pictures as soon as I can...and as soon as I figure out how to...
Something else I forgot to mention was that I was wanting to replace all the front sheet metal (fenders, hood, bumper, grill, etc. ) with ones from a 70/71/72 Dart. I like the looks of those front ends best and I think it would look sweet on my convertible (and that it would make it even more unique). I don't think it should be too difficult to swap it all over.
I think I'm gonna leave the 6.1 pretty much stock (tho I have been toying with the idea of building it some...)
