At some point in the future I plan on adding power windows to my 1972 restomod. I already have a 2015 Challenger center console and speed hut gauges, so I'm looking for something modern. I'm considering potentially eliminating the ash tray and putting in a Wrangler switch pod.

Another consideration are these billet aluminum ones underneath where the original stereo went. This would allow the passenger to reach if needed.

I could go the door route, but haven't really seen anything I like. The metal ones are all chrome and the plastic ones all look cheap. The lights in the wrangler pod burn out quick (I have a Wrangler), but it's certainly cheaper. That said I would need to figure out a good way to incorporate them into the existing space.

For reference, the button cluster on the console is getting replaced with a double din stereo in the near future, so that space is ruled out.

I'm looking for some feedback on these options or something I haven't thought of. For those that have original power windows, where were the switches mounted?
 
I believe switches are available that utilize the window cranks to operate. Total stealth.

Repro 68-74 switches are available.

They mount in the door panels.

There are molded in guides for cutting them out.
 
Oh, didn't see the resto-mod theme.
