    The 35 truck kit from FFR came with Ball's Rod and Kustom #Platinum (b-1) power windows. Seemed like decent quality and worked well. I'm not sure this exact fit would be for the 33 hot rod. But they have multiple versions.

    You will still need the glass from FFR as it is specific to them.

    If only someone at FFR would answer the phone... I did get a response back from Ball's Rod & Custom
    "If you’re referring to Power Windows we supply them to Fact5 for some of their vehicles"

    Vintage Glass

    to me

    Yes, Electric window kit for a Factory 5 '33 Hot Rod.

    Do you supply the glass?

    We don’t make the glass for them – if flat glass we’d need paper templates to reproduce.

    Even if you buy that kit, you don't get any of the FFR specific brackets etc. Call them after 9. They might be delayed due to weather though.

    FYI the window kits are the same except for the brackets that hold the regulators in and the plates for the top of the doors. I almost bought Roadracers about a year ago but FFR didn't have the brackets separate and didn't have a set they wanted to break up. I ordered them with my Stage 2 kit.
    33 Hot Rod Stage 1, Gen.2 ordered 11/11/2021 started June 12, 2022, LS3 E-Rod crate engine, Tremec TKX, 8.8 WITH 3.55 Ratio and limited slip with 31 spline axles.17X8 and18x10 Race Star wheels wrapped in Conti Extreme contact DWS tires, Mustang Cobra brakes all around. Electric PS and AC. Hard top, electric windows and bike fenders. First Start 5/31/2023. Go-Kart 6/2/2023.
